#4: Jar of Awesome

Jar of awesome is a simple idea that has a big impact.  There are a few different ways of doing Jar of Awesome, for example my jar has things that I do that encourage me to keep pushing myself and powerful engagement with students.  The next example, my wife, she did Jar of Awesome with her students and when students do something awesome they put it in the jar.
