Happy Visit

So at school, on Fridays, the principal comes around and announces "Happy Visits" in front of the whole class. Its like a total big deal for the kids. All Friday morning they ask, Am I going to get a happy visit today!? A "Happy Visit" is when your teacher thinks you are doing a good job and wants to brag on you to the principal and he comes and announces your name and you get to go see the assistant principal and get a ribbon that says "I Had a Happy Visit Today", your picture taken for the "Happy Visit" wall and two things out of the treasure box.

Well this morning, I was getting some information together for an ARD for one of my kids. I was sitting on my computer in my little closet and I hear Mr. Martindale start giving out Happy Visits and he is standing right in front of my door...well he starts talking and says...

"This person deserves a Happy Visit for doing an awesome job with our second graders. She's ALWAYS available to help out the teachers as well. She's a great asset to our team! Mrs. Knight gets the first happy visit of the day!"

OMG! I didn't know what to do! It was totally unexpected I didn't know teachers could get a Happy Visit. All the kiddos had come out of their rooms to see who the happy visit was for and were all smiling at me. It was so cute. So I went and got my ribbon and now all the kids are like, "YOU got a happy visit?" HAHA! It started my Friday morning off just wonderfully.

After that I pulled some kids and we played some games with place value and money before I went and hung out with one of my teacher friends who teaches second grade. Pulling my kids on Friday is always difficult because everyone's schedule is all different with motor lab, library, different switching schedule, etc. Her class was working on cards for thanksgiving so I made one as well to add to my "Thanksgiving Folder"- they were so cute. Here is mine:So cute right? All it is is a cut out of my hand, pasted on a yellow card- and glued sequences on the fingers. Also, it could be done with paint or glitter. We opted for the easiest route with 45 second graders. : )
