Has your child come home talking about his/her chain yet? Hopefully they have shared about their chain with you! Every student in my class wears an achievement chain. The chains are worn during the school day and then stay at school in cubbies when students go home. Chains are special! They are a place for students to showcase their accomplishments throughout the year in fourth grade. There are a variety of beads that they can earn to add to their chain over the course of the year and each bead symbolizes something different. Some beads are earned as a class when we work towards and reach a special goal. I call these our monthly motivators. Other beads represent individual success in the areas of behavior and academics! The possibilities are endless, and I'm always adding reasons to reward students with a new bead throughout the year! :) On the last day of school, we will have our final bead celebration and the students will take their chains home to keep with them forever. My dream is that this special chain of accomplishments is something they are always proud of and something they can always keep and remember about fourth grade. :) |
