a sucker for stickers

Earlier today, I was searching for some stickers to go with my Pig Unit. I really am "a sucker for stickers"! I won't be using them as rewards, but since I have a pig booklet with lots of graphic organizers, I will be letting kids choose stickers as they complete pages and read to me. It is more a reminder for me as to who has completed their work and had the chance to read to me. And, I guess they are a reward for the students. I really do love stickers, and think that they can be used in the classroom, especially for primary students! A lot of people don't think that stickers are beneficial because they cause the students to think that they need to be rewarded every time work is completed. However, I will only be using them in my Language Arts unit, and since my mentor already uses them, I figure I should keep the same routine! :) Anyways, I found all of these stickers at the dollar store today for a $1.50 a pack, and each comes with 8 sheets. Very excited, but now I want more!
