This year we have been collecting "gumballs" for our "gumball machine" data wall in kindergarten. Students who have read all 100 kindergarten sight words are going to receive their own gumball machine.
We have also been reading all the Pete the Cat books and the kids love them! Our last bulletin board of the year was on a constructed response in math. Students were asked to show how many shoes Pete and his friends had on while they played in the park. My kindergartners drew pictures and then wrote a number sentence to show the number of shoes. As a good-bye gift at the end of the year they will receive this treat of gummie tennis shoes.
