Movie Day

Friday is Movie May for the All Stars--sometimes celebrated with popcorn but today, since the bean cup was full, ice cream.

About the All Stars: A technique for encouraging good behavior for younger children. Each student is issued a sheet showing activities to be completed during the day. The teacher places a star on each activity as it is completed. An "All Star Day" is one in which the child has been given a star for each completed segment. An "All Star Week" is a week in which all students have received stars for every task during every day.
