100.
The number of unsolicited compliments earned by this year's 4th graders in Room 202.
100.
They set their goal at 81.
100.
They had runs of several compliments in one day.
100.
They had runs of one compliment a day for several days in a row.
100.
They had dry spells; some lasting a week or two.
100.
They encouraged each other to "do what it takes" to earn a compliment.
100.
Many students earned a compliment for the class by getting an individual compliment.
100.
They were just as excited for their first compliment as they were for their 100th.
100.
Compliments were given by teachers, administrators, support staff, and parents.
100.
Throughout each day opportunities presented themselves to earn a compliment.
100.
They capitalized on (at least) 100 of these opportunities. Often times more...which went unrecognized...but I saw them!
100.
They earned them in the classroom, on the playground, in the hallways, on the stairs, during their specials, and at assemblies.
100.
I, as their teacher, had the pleasure of receiving the good news of their good choices throughout the year.
100.
An accomplishment that may very well go unmatched...
100.
One hundred.
