 *  Lab-based and activity-based hands-on learning
 *  Agenda/Homework on board
 *  Birthday Calendar/Announcements
 *  Frequent assessment feedback
 *  Smarties: Exams
 *  Highlighter (reading strategies)
 *  Homework passes
 *  Post work/projects on boards/ceilings
 *  Stickers/stamps
 *  Student exemplars
 *  Holidays/Seasonal Clings/Decorations
 *  Survival Packets/Rules of the Road
 *  Hall Passes: Crab/Elephant/Turtle
