We like to recognize a couple of our members just for fun! Every month or so, we will offer "Challenges" that provide you with an opportunity to give feedback, share what's working for you and even ask a question or two, all right here on our blog!
Here's how it works. Answer the "Challenge" question by adding a comment. To do this, simply click on the "Comments" link at the end of this blog entry, type in your name and email address and answer the question. Everyone who answers will be put in a drawing to win a fabulous prize!
This month we are giving away 2 gift card packs that include free food, video rentals and yummy ice-cream!
Challenge Question:
Now that most of you have been at your after school site, you are probably pros at getting the kids' attention before beginning an activity! Tell us a quick tip that you use to get the kids geared up for learning. If you don't have a tip, ask a question. To be eligible for our prizes - you must enter your comment!
We will do the drawing on December 8th and announce the winners at our Team Day!
I haven't found a good thing to get their attention. I tried saying "if you can hear me clap once and if you can hear me clap twice." THat has been working but I am looking for another way maybe i can get other suggestions.

The ole countdown works everytime. By the end of one of the tutors counting down from 5, the kids are silent and listening! It's simple, but it works. Probably the fact that we are much taller than the kids helps!
