I like the morning one---and I like someone else's suggestion of foreign languages. I inadvertently did that with my good-bye tradition last year and would be fun to teach the kids!ColleenandKendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127125135728280398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985047641236011498.post-27813579261015574242013-08-13T19:36:58.254-04:002013-08-13T19:36:58.254-04:00Great idea, Courtney!

They have to have a "secret word" to get by Admin to enter my room. I might start doing a secret word in the afternoon before they dismiss!

This would definitely get the reluctant and shy talkers to open up. I am going to try this in my room next week.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741329384677991257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985047641236011498.post-13660228033195434592013-08-13T15:30:19.874-04:002013-08-13T15:30:19.874-04:00I love this, Courtney!

They love it! One boy slipped out in a rush one particularly busy afternoon. He got all the way down the stairs, then came racing back up because he forget to say good bye and to razz me a bit because he had gotten past me.
