Part of my behavior management for my class revolves around earning "paws" which can be earned by positive individual behaviors as well as class behavior. Once we've earned enough paws, we get to celebrate our accomplishments with a Paw Party. Today was our first Paw Party of the year, and we decided on a pajama party/I Love to Read Day. Everyone wore their PJs to school (except for me because I had to sit in meetings all afternoon) and brought stuffed animals and blankets and pillows. It was an early release day, so our school day was super short as it was, but the kids got to spend the morning just relaxing and reading. Or "reading." I Love to Read Day really turned into I Love to Build Forts and Play with Stuffed Animals and Chat with my Friends Day. I even turned on some Explosions in the Sky Pandora music, but the longest stretch they were able to sit still and read for was maybe about 15 minutes.
I think our next Paw Party will involve running laps outside.
