While on my annual Schoolhouse GB shopping trip, I ran across a display at the checkout counter. You know where this is leading…right? =) It was the kind of display that was purposely put at the checkout counter because buyers-beware: What’s Displayed is Hard to Dismiss. They were “Good Luck Minis” – small, miniature, plastic animal figurines.
Spinning the carousel of minis, I secretly hoped, “Let there be eagles, let there be eagles!” And of course there were! Because eagles are awesome. That’s why!
You see, we are the Southern Door Eagles. Our school is an Early Childhood – 12th Grade campus. Our Eagle Pride runs strong! We are also a PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) school. And I just had to have these little bitty eagles for our monthly elementary Super Star celebrations.
Classroom teachers nominate students for the monthly Super Star celebrations. Nominees receive a medallion necklace, a certificate, and (in my classroom) a “Good Luck Mini” eagle. I packaged them in a small craft, zipper top craft/bead baggie, with a label I had from a previous Vista Print order.
I’ve given out two month’s worth of Super Star nomination Mini Eagles. The students LOVE them! They actually match the larger eagle figurine that we have in our classroom.
