Teachers, Counselors, Social Workers, & School Psychs Like You Said:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kimberly K. says, “I used these at the end of the 2016-17 school year (in 3rd grade) as a way to ramp-up behaviors and try something different at the end of the year and it worked wonders!!  The students couldn't tell if their neighbor was getting a "good" card or a "re-direct."  Worked like a charm!!  Tip: I laminated the cards and sorted into two piles and put one pile in a pocket, so it was easy for me to hand out.  At the end of the day, students put their cards back in a basket on my desk so I could re-use them the next day.  I can't wait to use them again this year!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Catherine P. says, “Great way to give students behavior feedback.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deborah S. says, “These cards are exactly what I needed! I love that there are a variety of cards for each month to help keep the cards interesting for students who can be prone to lose interest quickly. I separated the cards into two stacks and clipped them with different color binder clips to quickly identify the redirection cards and the motivational cards. Thank you for creating this superb product!”
