Unsolicited Compliments


In our classroom we have a marble jar. Our class' goal is to fill the jar so we can earn a celebration!

We get small marbles when we follow directions, quiet down quickly and have good behavior. We get medium-sized marbles when we get unsolicited compliments from adults in our building, which is our FAVORITE part of having a marble jar!

"Wow 2nd graders! Great line!"
"Ms. Booth, your class is so quiet!"
"Look at the amazing learning that's happening right now, great job 2nd graders!"

These are just some of the unsolicited compliments we have received this year...and believe us, silent cheers don't do them the justice they deserve.

Thank you to all of the teachers, parents and principals who have given us unsolicited compliments! We promise we will continue to work hard, follow directions and stay quiet in the halls so we can earn more medium-sized marbles!
