Tuesday Teacher Tips: Transitions with a Yes Line!

Tuesday Teacher Tips: Transitions From One Location to Another with A YES LINE!

 This week's tip is about transitioning from your classroom to another location. 

When I was teaching, my students LOVED this free reward. When we were going to lunch or the playground, I was always looking for "A YES Line" our class term for a terrific line in the hallway. When we got to lunch, the SILENT, UNSPOKEN QUESTION was, "Were we good?" If the answer was YES, they were allowed to move out of our normal ABC line order line and then sit with a friend at lunch. {Click for my ABC order line order post.}

If we were going to recess, "A YES Line" meant a few extra minutes on the playground. If we were going to PE, or Music, or the Library, a YES line might mean a few minutes of King Chase Queen at the end of the day, anything that your group might love that year as a reward.

It will cost you absolutely nothing, but your kids are going to ♥love this reward!

When everyone is moving around right before walking into the lunch room door, and you notice one person not having a friend to sit with, you can single this person out in a positive, wonderful way.

Let's pretend it is Amy, if you see no one is including her, you can say, "I love how quiet and polite Amy is being, would someone like to include this good citizen?" Then, BAM, if no one says anything in that split second, say, "Amy, why don't you go right to the front of the line and pick someone to go with you." Instantly, everyone will want to be her friend. :)

Here's a little FREEBIE for you, a poster for your classroom door to remind everyone of a YES LINE!
