The morale of our students and teachers have been feeling a little… meh lately. You know, the doldrums between Spring Break and Summer Vacation. So, I'm trying to find some creative ideas to liven things up. What kind of fun stuff does your school do to help keep things light and engaging?

We recently let the students have a pajama and reading day. They brought pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals and had a blast. They asked if they could do it again every week.

This sounds like fun. I've been thinking about doing a career day, where they get to dress up as their career choice.

We are doing a piñata and a “pretend” sleep-over (pillows and blankets and snacks) movie

This soinds exhausting but oh so fun!!!

I live in a warm climate, so class outside alwAys helps. Also a class movie day helps too.

My students earned a movie and root beer floats. We do “Secret Student” .I secretly pick someone for the day and say, “Today I am looking for (behavior I want to see) “ If the student does it they are the Secret Student winner. Everybody cheers! (If they don’t, no names are mentioned) . We make a paper chain of the names and when it reaches the floor we celebrate as a class.

Outside of salary, what other things have people negotiated as new hire, I’ve seen more PTO, working from home, sign on bonus, even stock options?
