Are You Yeti For This?
These Yeti’s always make the cutest bulletin board display, plus they just make our classroom happy!
The mouth and eyes template for these are in our free resource library you can find HERE! The white paint is put on with the back of a plastic fork to make the yeti fur and the blue paint we used a paper towel and dabbed it on.
We read How to Catch a Yeti by Adam Wallace (or you can watch it in our winter read alouds blog post HERE) and we discuss what we would do if we were to catch a yeti! I always love hearing the funny responses.

Reviewing Expectations with Behavior Incentive Charts
No matter how amazing your classroom management is, students will need to review classroom and school expectations after they return from Winter Break.
These Project and Trace (or print) charts are perfect ways to keep students on track. Each time students have a great transition, are all on task, etc., I’ll add a picture piece to the chart.
When students earn all the pieces, they get a reward/treat. Rewards/treats can be as simple as earning an extra recess, having a dance party, or getting a Hershey’s kiss to munch on while they are working. Simple and fun!
We also love leaving these charts for a sub because it helps to remind students to stay on track with the expectations we’ve set for them.
This pack of charts can be found HERE.
