Happy Father's Day! Today is a hard one for me as I lost my dad 2 years ago unexpectedly. As they say, it never gets easier, just less painful, I am now able to remember all the wonderful times we had (when he walked me down the aisle it was magical). I know he is looking down on me and smiling :) To all the fathers out there... enjoy your day!
Thanks to those of you that left me a comment about what to do with this:
You had some AMAZING suggestions!! So I took many of your ideas, and I made these three things:
Use this as a behavior incentive- write the child's name on the line and put in the fish mouth. Pull a name out at the end of the day for a "prize." |
Have the students write nice things about each other. |
Use as a "comment jar" where the students can write about the comments, questions, or concerns they have. |
I haven't decided on which one I will be using yet, I just love all three! Which one do you like? You can get a copy of all of these by clicking {here}.

As always, thank you so much for reading!
I know how hard this day is as well. I lost my dad six years ago when I was 16. I thought as time passed it would get easier, but as he is missing more and more things in my life it just becomes harder :( Remembering the good times is what I hold onto :) Hope you have a great day.
