A Year's Worth of HUGS!

First of all... don't go into shock.  Two posts in one day.  I know.  Crazy!  

My daughter has the most amazing kindergarten teacher, Mrs. B. This year has been so nuts for me, it is so comforting to know that my little punk is learning, and growing and loving school. Mrs. B gives out these cute little hug coupons when the students stay on green.  (Proudly, my punk has collected quite a few. Smile! ) When the kiddos collect 5 coupons, they can turn them in for a trip to her treasure box.

I think the coupons alone are great because it reminds parents to praise their students for their hard work, building positive reinforcement... and a hug doesn't cost a darn thing! Brilliant, Mrs. B. Brilliant! So... I got a bit carried away, and made a BUNCH of coupons (Yep, like 21!) for different seasons and times of the year.  (Mrs. B's idea, too.)  I made them black and white so they can be copied easily. Mrs. B also recycles them, too.  Isn't she smart? You can download them FREE HERE.  Happy hugging!

  1. Those are so stinkin' cute and I ADORE the idea of this.

    Maybe instead of a trip to the treasure chest they can earn a chocolate hug. =)

    Thank you.

    This made me think of the song we start our day with during the month of February. "Four Hugs a Day" became a fast favorite of my class. It is by Charlotte Diamond on her CD: 10 Carrot Diamond. We will have hugs galore with the song, your coupons and some chocolate hugs too!
