Teaching with Heart and Creativity

Hallway Behavior Management Tip #25DaysofColor

Do your kids naturally SHINE in the hallway?   Yeah mine either…  Unless of course I have laid the groundwork to get them excited about traveling through the campus!  No seriously it can be fun manageable er um….successful!  

Each letter in the word shine stands for an expectation in the hallway.  If students receive a compliment from a passerby on campus while traveling around the school, they earn a star.  These stars can hang in a special place in the room, or even down from the door frame.  What does it mean to shine?

As soon as students earn all 5 compliments they get a free privilege of your choice!  Some ideas as privileges are using markers on an assignment, taking shoes off for a lesson, a read aloud outside on the grass, and 10 minutes of sidewalk chalk on black butcher paper in the room. 
I would love for you to share your favorite free motivators!

I used Vulcan Green to make these 3D stars.  Because they are different than the usual flat star or piece of clip art, they are special.  It is kind of a big deal to earn them!

My 14 year old daughter made the stars for me as I took photos.  I will explain the steps but I also took a video of her making one so you can really see it. 

Make a circle of any size on the paper. (1) Using a compass is easiest but not necessary.  Once the circle is made keep the compass in tact and make equidistant tick marks around the circle. (2) It should make 6 tick marks no matter the size of your circle.  Just keep moving the compass around the circle by picking up one side and swinging it around to mark the circle. (3,4,5,6) Once all your tick marks are made around the circle, take a ruler and draw a triangle using every other tick mark (7,8) Then make a second triangle with the 3 remaining tick marks (9) Tada!  You made a star.  Now cut out your fabulous star (10,11) Next, make 3 folds opposite points around the star (12) Flip the star over (13) Make three more folds with two points up for each fold (14) When this is finished you will have a 3D star! 

Here’s a time lapse video of my daughter making a star.

      Great idea! Love the stars! You could also make the star on the computer and print it out. (In case you don't have a talented 14 year old handy!)

      This is a really cute idea. My class collected "warm fuzzies" in a jar whenever they received a compliment. When the jar filled up, we had a class party. Your SHINE idea is nice because the acronym will help the kids remember specifically what is expected. Julie ( Green Apple Lessons)

      Reagan,

      I just wanted to let you know that I love your blog- and your TPT products are on point! Happy follower here!

      I love the SHINE idea for the hallway. What a creative idea! Like Julie Anne (who posted above) I use a "Warm and Fuzzy" jar with my students. It's always a huge hit.

      For classes that really struggle with walking in the hallway appropriately, I use the "Secret Walker" approach. Before we leave the classroom, I pull a stick (each child has a stick). The kids know I pulled one, but they do not know which student was picked. I keep an eye on that student and if the student did a good job, they receive a reward when we return. It can be something as simple as letting them draw on the board for five minutes before we leave for the day, letting them have paper and my "fancy" crayons for free drawing- or even something as little as a mini sticker on his or her hand. This works like a charm! It keeps them all on their toes!

      Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea. I am looking forward to trying it out with my students this year!

      Melissa

      I love this idea! I just have a quick question. When you say once they earn all 5 compliments they get a reward, does this mean each compliment given in the hall has to be separated into one of the categories of desired behaviors? Meaning if a teacher says your class is walking nicely in the hall, you come back and decide as a class which that would fall under and they earn a star? They could have several stars for one letter but then are still trying for one star for each letter to get the reward? Not sure if I'm overthinking this?? I love all of your ideas and activities!

    It’s been feeling more like ☀️ summertime an It’s been feeling more like ☀️ summertime and now that I’ve received the Summer @fabfitfun Box I’m SO READY for my favorite season! 
Being a #fabfitfunpartner means I can share about the details of my box and this box did not disappoint! The after sun spray might be my favorite, but the adorable floral wireless phone 🔌🌺 charger is making me just as giddy. The brow brush has already made it’s home in my make-up drawer!  There’s an amazing smelling toner, gorgeous credit card holder, beauty blender, and even more. 
I love the quality of the entire box paired with the mission of empowering women-founded businesses too! 
Just one of the many full-size items you get pays for the $49 cost of the box. As I unboxed, my teens were shocked at all of the quality brands and products that just kept coming! 
For $10 off your first box, use coupon code “Tunstall” at www.fabfitfun.com and you’ll get your box for $39.99.
