Compliments

We keep winning the compliment parties for first grade for our great behavior. This would be great if our students knew what it meant to be given a compliment.

As a result of this knowledge that they don't understand what they are, we had a lesson in complimenting today. We had to tell our friends what we like about them. We FINALLY got the hang of it and told people that we like their shirts, black shoes, hair, eyes, and ears. Yes, that's right, if you are having a bad ear day, just talk to Patrick and he'll tell you that they are great!

To continue on with our learning, we took it to the "streets" aka hallway. We sat in the hallway and watched as people walked and handed out compliments. "Nice walking", "Great Jacket", "Nice hairstyle", etc. It's great.

After we did all of this, we had our compliment party. Hot cocoa and marshmallows. So, if your child suffered from a sudden loss of energy, they were crashing from the entire bag of mini marshmallows that they devoured!

Tomorrow continues our Valentine's studying. Don't forget to find those 100 day of school shirts for next week!!!
