Introducing… drumroll, please… the Red-Green Card Magic! 🚦🌈
What's the deal?
Picture this: a nifty card, red on one side, green on the other. It’s your ticket to creating a harmonious classroom vibe. When that card’s on the green side, it’s all systems go for chatter. Flip it to red, and we’re in stealth mode – quiet voices only. Watch your student’s blurting out behavior fade into the wind.
Why the Red-Green card?
Well, my friends, it’s all about balance. We want that card flashing green like a neon sign at a dance party. When it’s green, that’s our cue to sprinkle positive attention on our student. A little chat here, a thumbs-up there – it’s a green-light extravaganza!
Turning Red into a superpower
But what about the red side, you ask? That’s our secret weapon. Flipping to red isn’t a punishment; it’s a chance for a superhero transformation. We’re teaching our kiddos the awesome power of a quiet voice. Shhh… it’s our little secret to becoming Classroom Avengers!
