These compliments come from people noticing how well behaved the class is in line or at lunch. Each time the whole class gets a compliment, we will add a link to the compliment chain. Once the chain hits the floor, the class gets to decide on a activity! Copy slide if you want to add more sections to this PowerPoint.
