Staying current on popular trends with students is important to help develop relationships. I talk about the latest video games, play the latest music, add You Tube/Snap Chat/Tik Tok to my lessons. One current trend that brings me back to my own childhood is the sticker collecting. Students have the opportunity to choose stickers for random reasons in my classroom. It might be for helping a classmate, using manners, having an organized cubby, or just because I feel like it. They are NOT linked to behavior. Throughout the week I make sure every student receives one.
*Warning: make sure you always look carefully through stickers sets to remove any that are inappropriate for school-age children.
Most students put their stickers on their water bottles, but some stickers have shown up at fun places around the classroom! I love that the students are comfortable enough in OUR classroom to add their stickers to enhance the environment.
Don't miss out on the Among Us video game trend right now. If you know about this game and you can use the vocabulary from it, you can get students excited about anything! I picked this bag of stickers up at a discount store this weekend and I cannot wait to show my learners. I know they will be excited.
