Today I received my latest edition of The Mailbox, preschool. I cannot tell you what an inspiration this magazine is. They have so many creative and unique ideas, even if you don't use their exact set up it really helps jump start your creativity when it comes to artwork and bulletin boards. For instance, today they had a great idea for promoting good listening skills. Kids love rewards & they love to be singled out for doing a good job so I now have the GOOD LISTENER STAR! This giant cardboard star is a place mat on the floor and in the morning when we are getting ready to have Calendar time the child with the best listening skills gets to sit on the special star spot. This really makes the child feel good and encourages the other children to be good listeners. It's amazing what a simple star can do! The mailbox is also great for sensory motor & story time.
