Cheers, Chants, Celebrations
Roller Coaster: Begin with your hands down low, tick them up a little at a time while saying 'tick-tick-tick.' When your hands get up as high as you can reach bring them down, bumping along like a roller coaster while going 'Wooo-hooo'You're Great: Open an imaginary refrigerator door, reach in and find some imaginary cheese, and grate it on your imaginary cheese grater while saying "You're great, you're great, you're great."
Silent HooRay: Give a totally silent scream for your achiever.
Golf-Clap: Make a snobby face: nose in the air and a stiff upper lip. Clap like you are at a golf tournament.
Raise the Roof: While saying "Awww yea" pump your palms to the roof.
The 100% club: Any time a student gets 100% on a test or quiz give them a special high five- I give them a regular high five, then a fist bump while making an explosion sound. I still can't believe how hard my students would work to get in the 100% club!
Da Bomb: Bring two fits together, then explode them out while making an explosion sound.

Welcome to the blogging arena. I think you will get a kick out of it. There are a lot of nice teachers out there that will be very supportive. Hopefully you will find a few of them on your own team.
