A couple of months ago I saw an idea on another blog about student’s that went above and beyond on their work and it was like a sugar cookie. I cannot remember where I saw this idea. I loved this and went to the local education store to look for some cookie border for a bulletin board, but couldn’t find any. So, as I’m looking, I come across some ice cream sundae border and think “I can totally make this work!” I put up some bulletin board paper with the ice cream sundae border and I look for student’s that have gone above and beyond on their work. During writing time, I like to go around and say I’m looking for ice cream sundae work. They instantly try harder to make their handwriting nice 🙂 I also put a special ice cream sticker on the papers that get hung on this special bulletin board.
I LOVE it! What a GREAT idea to encourage better writing. Thanks for sharing.
