I ordered tokens to take to Alaska where I was called for a Middle School Special Education substitute. I was thinking that the bracelets might be used for incentives because the teacher going on maternity leave told me that she was having difficulty getting students to complete assignments. I didn't have the issue, however, I saw another need. This one was a social/emotional need. By letting students talk to me individually, they opened up at times. I gave them the opportunity to find their word. I quietly wrote the word and their name on a piece of paper, then made the bracelets in the evening and made a small paper packet as wrapping. I secretly gave the bracelet to each student. So far, I have seen some grumpy students giving me secret smiles and becoming more cooperative. It is like a secret code. A magical one.
