DIVIDE RECESS INTO FOURTHS-
Blow whistle every 5 minutes- when child comes to teacher they get to
put down one fourth of the puzzle- when the whistle blows for fourth time
they earn an M&M. I’m against giving kids candy- but this was the only
way we could shape this behavior to start. The student refused to come
in from recess until we started this.
