just a funny story...

I had a good day in 3rd grade today. I told the kids that I would give them each a piece of candy for being good for me...considering I had never subbed in their room before and its almost Thanksgiving. At the end of the day, I allowed them to choose a piece of candy from a small ziploc bag. After they got their candy, they could line up. I put the bag on the teacher's desk and brought the class down to the busses. When I came back up, I looked on the desk and the bag was gone!!! Someone stole my bag of candy! Even though the bag was small, it was almost full!
I spent at least 10 minutes looking around the room for the candy, but didn't find it!

Some kid is gonna have a sore tongue and a stomach ache tomorrow!!
hahahahhahaha!

You'll Never find out who took it. lol. That's one thing we can't give out to the kids, we can give stickers etc.. just not candy

never!!!...

Teachers in the schools I work in look at me like i'm nuts when I ask them if its OK to give the kids candy.

They're like...go right ahead!!!

when i was student teaching, the kids couldn't have ANYTHING but these coupons for a lottery they had once a week.

Candy

What I have noticed is that classrooms that are better behaved do not offer candy as a reward, they have the money system where they can buy privileges . Classrooms where there are more disruptive kids have the candy. I myself do not like to give out candy if I can help it. That little sugar burst can cause quite a bit of ruckus.

How about Tylenol PM? Can we give that out?!

That'd be pretty awesome :-)




j/k of course (or am I?)

i have only recently started with candy...

but I don't mention it at all during the day!!!!

Today I gave some candy to kids at the end of the day...we had a 1pm dismissal. It was high school home ec and the kids just had to do a worksheet. I knew they would whine and just twiddle with the sheet....so I told them that if they got it done before 1, i'd give them a piece of candy. I also told them the story about my candy being stolen! They thought it was funny.

They got the work done, got their candy and my day was good:-)

I'm only going to do this SPARINGLY. Just like I use my whistle sparingly on rowdy classrooms hahahaha!!!
