Final Thoughts

In the afternoon, before the children leave for the day, I would give them each a small piece of paper that they would copy a name of a student (from a list of the students on the board) who had a good thought on that day.

Then they would tell everyone, for example, I liked the way Sam shared his truck with me.

This helps to reinforce positive relationships with their peers and motivates them to be nicer the next day.
