Ideas on how students can be recognized without isolating others. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I use a Principal's Honor Board. It is a bulletin board in the hallway. Certificates are posted on the board for each student per month.
Teachers select one student a month from their class.
I also have bumper stickers, pins, or pennents made up to give to those kids who are selected. I send personalized letters to parents via U.S. mail announcing their child's selection. I used the idea of Boyer in his book the Basic School and have a celebration every morning. We come into the gym, say the pledge together and sing a patriotic song. We then recognize birthdays and half birthdays during December, January, and February.
