I’ve been adjusting my teaching style for my new students, who are aged 3.5-4 years old. Behavior and progress are very abstract concepts to them, so it is difficult to keep a my students aiming towards a goal throughout the day.
This chart has been very helpful so far in inspiring students to try their best all day. Each dolphin starts in the sand, and is moved up a level to the coral, seaweed, bubbles, and finally jumps out of the water each time a student does a good job listening, helping friends, cleaning up etc. When their dolphin jumps out of the water they are rewarded with a special sticker, activity or job to perform.
