Showing appreciation for 1 student.
Entire class says the student's name as they do the appreciation:
Teacher says: Let's give Ian a applause. Then teacher and class performs the applause.
Sometimes allow students to choose which applause they want to receive :)

- Silent Cheer – Sign Language applause
- Rollercoaster - Hands begin at the waist and slowly move up like a roller coaster until it gets to the top. As hands go up, students make a "choo choo" sound. Once the hands reach the top, hands go down in a rolling "U" motion as students say "woo woo"
- Rockstar - Say the student's name as you play the air guitar.
- Fireworks - Say the student's name, clap, and release hands like fireworks and say "piiishhhh" (firework sound...LOL)
- Ketchup - Say the student's name, then one hand claps over a fist...as if you are trying to get ketchup out of a bottle.
- "Cool" Snaps- Everyone snaps their fingers like after a great poem at a poetry slam ;)
- Woosh Clap - Say the student's name, clap, and then say "Woosh" as hands move in one sweeping motion from left to right. (I stole this idea from our awesome Physical Education educator, Stephanie Roth. This looks and sounds awesome during a whole school event)
