Create
a class mascot and motto for your classroom. Send a note home to studentds before
the year begins and tell them to look for the mascot welcoming them at the door.
Put the mascot and motto on letterhead, awards, etc. This helps build unity and
a spirit of teamwork in your classroom. Some examples of mascots and mottos might
be:
- a Leopard: Mrs. Smith's Class - a place where everyone has
their
own "spot".
-
a Frog: Mr. Bodily's Class - a "toadally" awesome place to be!
-
an Eagle: soaring to new heights together
-
the Bears: where learning is "beary" fun
