Just a few more pics I feel like sharing; these aren't as LEGO-y, either, so they may be of some use to another teacher. :) I'm slowly, SLOWLY getting there. Can't believe I only have about a month left until I start!

| When students leave the room for speech, resource room, etc., they'll have to leave one of these on their desks first--it'll help me see at a glance who is out! (You think you remember these things but it changes every day, and once you get into a rhythm...) The only exception is the bathroom--they'll put the boy/girl hand sanitizer on their desks instead. |
 |
| My "how we get home" board...with clothespins bearing each student's name on the appropriate circle (bikers/walkers, car rider, bus, after-school activity...) I liked this idea because it was easily changed out from day to day. Downloaded it from HERE. |
 |
| My "rate yourself" stoplight exit ticket board. Gotta laminate it still...but basically, when we learn about something, I can then have the kids take out a mini post-it and put their name on it, along with rating themselves on how well they know it--if green, then explaining/performing it well; yellow, asking a question to clarify something; or red, they really don't get it and need extra help. Self-evaluation is really important to me. |
I also made up this birthday board. Saw something like it on Pinterest but it wasn't free. Mine isn't as cute, but it's a little more neutral and I'm offering it as a free download to anyone who wants it. :) Gotta thank Connie Prince for the digiscrapping kit I used to make it (Go!Go!Go!). It's made to be a 16x20 poster, which Walmart will print off for you for about $13, but an 11x14 has almost the same ratio and works just as well for half the price. You choose what's best for you. :) When you frame it, it becomes dry-erase, which is awesome for the classroom. Or, you could just add family birthdays in Sharpie. OR, if you're tech-savvy, you could add text to the image before printing. Lots of options.
Still working! :)
You are so creative! I love everything!
