Something that I do that the students seem to remember is that I have a sign hung up at their level right as you walk into the doorway that says "I WILL TRY MY BEST!" As they walk in, they slap it (We call it "the magic") and then pop it up to their brain/or eat it. So yes, they are eating air but they think it's magic and really believe it helps them try their best and to remember to try their best as they are walking in at all times of the day. They love it and I refer to it during lessons when someone is not trying their best, I'll ask if they got their magic on their way in. It works well. The idea came to me when I was watching the Detroit Pistons run out from their locker room slapping their emblem for luck. I love motivational things!!

Feel free to ask me anything anytime. I have also taught 2nd and 3rd grade as well.

That is so cute! It's great to see teachers that are passionate about what they do.
