Anger Group-Certificate of Completion

I wanted to close out my small
group with my angry little second grade boys in a way that was really special
and meaningful. I wanted them to be proud of their accomplishments and
recognize how far they had come in a few short weeks.

So I googled award templates
and this adorable border template popped
up. I immediately downloaded the awards, did some quick modifying to make a SWAG Award that fit my needs and with the
click of the print button, these recognitions of their achievements were
created. It took less than 10 minutes, totally worth it. I laminated the sheets
for durability (or else they’d be ripped before the kids got on the bus) and
was off to deliver my awards to my little cuties.

I was giddy as I read the written words and thanked them for coming and participating in my group. The award I created said:

You’ve Got
SWAG
Students Who Achieve Greatness

This SWAG Award is presented to
(student name)
on this day, May 3, 2016, for having shown great SWAG
in completion of our Social Skills Group.

Thank you for your great work!
<3 Mrs. Bell

The part I changed from the original came right after the student’s name. The original stated, “On this day, 3 May 2016, For Completing this Course. Congratulations.”

I had a mini celebration of their success with each of them for a few minutes outside their classroom as I presented them with their award. I seriously do not know who was
more excited, me to give the awards or the students to receive the awards.

I loved seeing the light in
their eyes. I did not realize how much the group meant to them, how much they
looked forward to coming. Those smiles breaking clear across their whole face
made all the chaos that was our boys group so completely worth it.
