These are so cute, fun, easy to do, and great for May classroom management. Students can earn items for anything: quick transitions, being good friends, being quiet in the hallway, cleaning up their messes, etc. Whatever you think is best and necessary for YOUR classroom! It’s important to set the expectations ahead of time though, so your students know exactly how to earn those raindrops.
When they are all full, you can choose a fun reward that all the students can enjoy as a class (further building that positive community feeling!) Some examples could be:
Or better yet, let your students choose their reward!
This month’s FREE printable for May classroom management comes with a variety of differentiation options so you can pick what’s best for YOUR students!
