Jar of Awesome!

Here's my new Jar of Awesome! I got the idea from Tim Ferriss, an American entrepreneur, and it's all about celebrating the small wins in life. In the younger grades students can choose one positive event that happens that day and then dictate this to the teacher. In the older primary grades students can write the notes themselves. At the end of the day/week, the notes are shared with the class to celebrate and spread positive success vibes!

It points to areas that individual students and the overall grade need for further development.
