Father's Day and FISH

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}.

Just TWO more days to enter my giveaway!!  Click the pic below:


As always, thank you so much for reading!

  1. 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.
