When children come into your classroom, have a “Welcome Box.” Children reach into the box and pull out their message for the day. Older students can have messages like, “You’re going to have a great day,” “Glad you are here today.” “I believe in you.” Younger children that cannot read can still reach in a Welcome Box and pull out an illustration, like a Smiley Face, or a photo of a class friend. It starts the day on a positive note and helps children want to come into your room for the surprise that they will get. It’s like opening a Chinese fortune cookie. Be creative in the messages you put in your Welcome Box.
Have a great day.

I am sorry but this has nothing about the saying of the day...
I attended you seminar on Saturday, Feb. 7 at the Mansion in New Jersey along with 5 girls who work for me and I have to say, Rob Underwood was an excellent speaker!!! We all enjoyed his enthusiasm for teaching and knowledge on subjects discussed. I only wish we had more time to complete the entire session. Rob was wonderful and gave us his e mail for completed answers if we needed them or questions.
Thanks and we hope to get him again next year!
