I have had this idea in my head for many years now! My sister told me about it when she was in college and so I have always thought how fun it would be to use them in a classroom. I think they are so cute! I hope my students will feel very special and honored when they receive smarty pants!
I just cut out the pants from blue paper. I drew on the pants with a sharpie and then stapled the two sides together. I didn't draw anything on the backside but you could! I will then put smarties in each pair of pants. I have also made a cute bucket to put them in. Its already at school though (so no picture). I painted the same pants and wrote on it, "Ms. Brown's Smarty Pants."
My plan for use of these is when a student has made a 100 on an assessment or has done something smart of course! I hope to pass these out a lot! I love to tell my students they are little smarty pants. A lot of times the kindergarten students I have worked with before didn't think it was a good thing! Now since they are getting a reward when I call them a smarty pants they will feel so special!
