I saw on Pinterest recently a super cute idea- Kiss Your Brain and Hug Your Heart. I thought this was really clever- Hershey Kisses for smart academic choices and Hershey Hugs for good social choices. I however have decided to combine these two things and just have one container titled "Smart Choices." I plan to fill the container with Smarties and hand out one individual candy when a student is making a smart choice- academically or socially. I think this will work well for me because I already use this language in my classroom. I try to consistently remind my students that things happen because of their choices: Are you making a good choice? or I'm sorry you made a poor choice or Suzie has made a great choice by reading quietly. Also I am not a fan of Smarties so I won't want to eat the whole container like I would if it was chocolate ;)!!!
