No Whining!

Cheryl A. Corbin, a fifth grade teacher at Sunset Elementary School in Whitehall, Wisconsin

To cure students in my classroom who are chronic whiners, I have made a Whine Cup. This is NOT an award they want sitting on their desk. It consists of a plastic trophy cup to which I have added several Kleenex tissue for their tears. It is surprising how quickly they check their own behavior!
