Warm Fuzzy Taco Party!

Classroom management can be tough! A great tool that I use in my classroom is a "warm fuzzy jar." This lovely little creation is a great incentive for good behavior. It's easy, too! My jar is actually a clear plastic container. Next to it I have a bag of 75 little fuzzies. You can find these at the craft store. Certain behaviors will be rewarded with a fuzzy in the jar. Bucket filling is a similar concept. Some behaviors that get fuzzies are lining up quickly and quietly, smooth transitioning between subjects, and good behavior in Mass. Before Christmas we finally filled up our jar!!! Recently we had our celebration. Through generous class donations we were able to have ice cream, soda, tacos, and enchiladas! WOW! I brought the ice cream and enchiladas but Don Pepe, owned by the Gomez's, made us tons of tacos, and Mrs Paniagua brought in soda and cups! We also watched a fairy tale because it is our genre of the month. Here are some pictures:
