We have got to get more videos on here! I teach in Shanghai at a kindergarten and all of the tips I have gotten here have been a huge success in my classroom! It makes the entire energy in the classroom fun and lighter. Thank you for your experience and enthusiasm!
Nice ideas! We are doing the pom-pom jar in my Pre-K classroom this year and the kids love it. I think it does help. 👍 I like the little smiley face and chapstick ideas too. 🙂 Sometimes I give extra high fives to the really good listeners... I just remembered now that last year someone donated us "social distance" hands... they are garden gloves with stuffing inside and they're sewn shut. If the kids were listening well at circle time, they were given a pat on the back or a high five with either an orange glove or a pink glove! They really enjoyed it and were proud of themselves! Ok I should get those gloves back out after spring break! 😄😁
I put my students faces on runners and move them along a running track on the wall. The idea is they are all running the race and on track to do a great job. I use the phrase, "full control equals full power" and "when you're controlled and doing you're best, you're strong and you can be free to do what you want." On that, I always have tons of play based extension tasks such as book making, writing letters, phonics or math games, activity books I've made relating to units of inquiry we are learning about, or something fun related to learning. I tell students, when you're on track, you finish the race and enjoy freedom, but if you struggle, I can give you more support to catch up, but everyone likes to be free way more
Bitter sweet. I'll be teaching grade 2 next year rather than kindergarten. I've loved teaching it the past 4 years though. I truly believe it's the ideal age to completely change their perception on school, creativity, friendships, and general self efficacy. I've also grown to love working with parents and helping them navigate as a parent of two children myself. I could totally see myself going back to Kindy one day. But your videos have been invaluable. Thank you for your passion and generosity in sharing so freely! :)
@@positivepreschooltips it's funny how I've just leaned into just giving dad advice that I use on my own kids. My biggest goal is to give my children independence, but that has really transferred onto my students now too. The thing is, everyone wants to be empowered, but they need steps and someone to believe in them
We add Tootsie Rolls to a tall clear container and earn a "Tootsie Party" once the candy reaches the line I drew on the jar! A Tootsie Party is an ice cream sundae selection and we divide the tootsies up to eat or end home! This encourages working towards good behavior as a team! 👍🏼😉
5:44 Just a quick thing with the group reward. For all the experienced teachers, you probably know this already... *DO NO REMOVE POMPOMS FOR POOR BEHAVIOR! THE KIDS EARNED THEM!*

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Fan-tasric! That is awesome!
I'm deeply impressed this woman has solved so many preschool issues she's down to being annoyed by stickers!
I know, right!? Everyone has their pet-peeves 😜
The chapstick is amazing and they prefer it to stickers!
What a fantastic video! ❤️ I gleaned alot! Thank you so much for taking the time to create content to help others!! 🥰
Oh, you are so kind! I should reward you with a Kindness Catcher Lol! Thank you so much!
Love the bell idea!

I love the motivational words you use. Thank you for sharing; very inspiring.

Such a lovely video.
I am starting as a new teacher and surely going to benefit from this video.
Thankyou so much
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise 😍🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I love that idea! Thank you so much for sharing. I also know a teacher that gives Smarties (the candy) and tells the children they are Smarty Pants. 😀
I increased the playback speed. So much better.
Wonderful tips! Thank you so much for your excellent videos! :) I was also thinking maybe fake tattoos on their hands could be a great reward as well.
Wonderful tips!Thank you♥️
Smiley face stamps would work good to and wouldn't make some of my kids think they could draw on themselves 😁
Also, what about everyone puts their clips into a community jar at the end of the day. Kinda the same principle as the pot poms.
Amazing ideas. Thanks
Would chapstick be a problem a la medical issue, like not being allowed to even give lotion?
Amazing ideas, thank you!
Glad you like them!
Great idea!
Do you alternate using each system in a day or do you choose one system to use consistently?
I do alternate the systems periodically. The 'shine' does wear off if you use it too often.

Great ideas..💡 I can't find the links. Can you post it again, please?
Oops! I just added them!
@@positivepreschooltips thank you
Or stamps :-)
You are good but voice is too low
