I hope that is okay. I linked back to your post to give you credit. You have such great ideas!

We go over how to open, close, dot and spread it around, yada yada...Then I line up 5 kids at a time and they take the test. If they pass they recieve a paper bracelet that says "glue master" on it. If they fail, they can't use the glue until they pass. They really want a bracelet but I dont give them out until I feel they really have it down! It might be less time consuming to just have them demonstrate their "mad glue skills" w a simple project to recieve a bracelet instead of testing them 5 at a time. Anytime we glue for the rest of the year, they take pride in their glue master status!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639181043390580427.post-90927362911848304902012-03-29T20:28:53.003-05:002012-03-29T20:28:53.003-05:00I teach my kids the part about breathing and I lov...I teach my kids the part about breathing and I love the 'tongue' idea!

For some reason, even my high schoolers will come up to me with their clogged glue and say 'it's not working'. And then I say "Well, what should you do?" (duh! lol) <br /><br />I am sooo tired of having to unclog everyone's glue!! I keep a bunch of opened up paper clips in the glue box so they can pick out the globs.Misshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505411826646402867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639181043390580427.post-92127248045409281352012-02-04T20:12:44.693-06:002012-02-04T20:12:44.693-06:00Great ideas.

I know how the kids hate getting glue on their fingers, so I encourage "dot, dot, not a lot...", but there are still those who believe in using half a bottle of glue. One thing that I do for my kindergarten students, is, I buy the "tiny" 1oz. bottles of school glue, which are perfect for their little hands. Their classroom teachers ask them to bring 8oz. bottles and I think they make such a mess because they can't handle the bottles.<br />Also, I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one who says "glue boogers" for the dried glue in the lid. The kids think it's gross, but it gets the point across.

I may adopt some of those phrases myself! One thing I do say when I talk about gluing is a little rhyme: "Dot, dot, not a lot. Just a teeny tiny drop!" And I make them say it with me and we say the "teeny tiny" part all high-pitched and squeaky. :)Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12514307448224535409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639181043390580427.post-72601963974196321192012-01-28T09:43:48.946-06:002012-01-28T09:43:48.946-06:00I love this post.

As of right now I'm primarily using glue sticks, which are expensive, and are a pain to manage. I can't even tell you how many I've thrown out this year because the caps have mysteriously disappeared.<br /><br />I also do a small piece of scrap paper with a glob of glue in the center that they put one finger in. I'm surprised at how often the children react in a negative way to this. Some really hate the tactile feel of glue on their fingers.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17934532533116566343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639181043390580427.post-83757715321889082422012-01-22T17:36:32.954-06:002012-01-22T17:36:32.954-06:00I usually have the kids use a small amount of glue...I usually have the kids use a small amount of glue in a portion cup with a sandwich pick for scooping the dots of glue I like them to use. It works, but it also adds to the preparation. So much easier to just put out the glue bottles. SOOOOoooo, in a rush last week I decided to let a 5th grade class use the glue bottles for a quick bit of gluing that was necessary. "After all, they are older, surely they know how to use a glue bottle by now," I thought. WRONG!! What a mess!!! The next day I went back to my glue cups and sticks. I like your idea a lot -- think I'll try it with the younger ones and see if I can make an impression.
