I hope many of you found the activity

fun and useful!

1. The Fries Prize

My new favorite from 

Teacher Tipster!

The kiddos are

lovin' it!

Teacher Tipster used a Kleenex

to hide the prize, but I thought, 

I must have fries to hide the prize!

Hint: If you do this, don't cut the 

box off of the paper fries so it will fit

in the fries box! I also laminated the fries.

I found it on google images.

Hide a small prize inside.

Award it to a student following

a specific direction.

I have hid a Fruit by the Foot

and a star shaped post it note pad

in it so far!

We are having a hard time 

keeping our hands and eyes on me

the WHOLE time.

Whole Brain:

"Classity Class"

"Yessity Yes"

"Hands & eyes!"

(This is where they clasp their hands

and focus their eyes on you...

immediately!)

They do, this very well...

however, keeping their eyes on me

 is a struggle right now!

So...

The fries prize for hands & eyes!

I'm lovin' it!

Thanks Teacher Tipster!
