Stocking Stuffer Stickers!

Here we are just four, I said FOUR days away from Christmas! And, if you are in a panic trying to think of those last minute little things you need to finish up, then I have one suggestion.

Fun stickers would be a great stocking stuffer. Children LOVE stickers! At this time of year, there are a lot of Christmas stickers around. Some of my students really are motivated to do their reading just so that they can put a sticker on their chart, moving them closer to getting a reward or prize. But, on the days they haven't done enough to put a sticker on their chart, I let them choose one to put wherever they want; usually it ends up on their clothes or arms or face!

Whether you are using See abc's or not, I suggest you make up some kind of chart for your child to encourage them in taking time to sit down and learn with you.

It will probably be after Christmas before I get time to blog again. I have a fun story to share about a child who just finished the See abc's reading program.

Have a very Merry Christmas filled with love and joy,

Doreese
