Daily 5 "mini" set



I'll be teaching reading again this year - yay!  I made this "mini" set for a small area above my wall.  I hope someone else can use it, too! :)

BTS labels and tags

Here are a few things I'll be using in my classroom this year...if it works for you, feel free to print and use them, too! :)

"Quiet Spray" label to attach to spray bottle.

I'm going to try this...before students turn in tests, etc., I'll have this tag on a small bucket and have the boys and girls highlight their names/numbers on their papers. 



Tags for sharpened/to be sharpened pencil cups/containers.


I'm using the giant pixie sticks with "balloons" on top for birthdays this year.  So the label will be on the bday jar.

 
I do coke drawings on Fridays...students may earn tickets for demonstrating on task, positive behavior, etc.

 
I'll also be doing an "Exit Slip" drawing this year for treats...


 

Voice Level Chart 2

I LOVE pinterest!  I saw voice level charts and wanted to make one that fit my classroom.  After I made the original chart, I put it up in my classroom, and noticed that it sort of "got lost" because it was too small.  So, I made a larger one that works perfectly in the room.  I simply cut them out, and positioned them together before laminating them and backing them with scrapbook paper.  :)



Back to school "Boarding Passes"

Well, I'm already getting excited about the new school year!  My husband flies airplanes, so my classroom theme is airplanes/travel.  Instead of sending basic postcards to students prior to school starting, I send "boarding passes" to my new little 3rd graders.  They really enjoy getting mail, and the "pass" gives them information about our "Meet the Teacher/Open House" Night.  Below is the one I used last year, and as soon as I receive my class list, I'll be making them for my new boys and girls.  I ordered the original template from Etsy (party invitation), and over the years, I've changed them a bit.  The cover was in a word doc, so I hope I converted it correctly. :)


2012-2013 calendar set

I'm finally finished with calendars for the upcoming school year.  Yay!!  Enjoy. :)
