Final Countdown

These last days of school are beyond exhausting. I'm trying to keep my students motivated by having one special student pop a balloon each morning. Every balloon has a special note inside like "Read Outside Day", "Movie Day", "Be the Director" and sit anywhere day. So far so good! The kids are excited and the teachers in my hallway want to do it too. Here's a pic of outside my classroom door. I turned it into a unit I have on TPT for $3. 

I'd love to hear what you're doing to keep your little ones motivated.
