Not sure how to do a screen shot w/ a link yet on a PC...I tried. I made these signs last year & it really helped out in the beginning of the year. I'm guessing you know how it is the first week of school..you go over & over & over procedures until they "get it". I usually take pics of a few students doing each step & create a slideshow for them to watch to make sure they get everything done by the bell. If you would like a copy of this sign click here. BTW, when I print this I print it 4 pages so it's poster size. I also created another sign for the end of the day procedures. After a few weeks of going over & over the procedures, I take down the beginning of the day & end of the day slideshow and tell them to read the sign to make sure they don't forget anything. If only that worked for all my students..if only! You can get the Before You Leave sign here. Here is a picture of the signs hanging in my classroom. I actually … [Read more...] about FREEBIE Management Tools

Storage Linky Party
I finally caved & bought the much talked about "Apprentice". I velcroed one of my favorite pics of my husband & I on the front. I house all my clipboards & will put my sub binder in the side pockets. I hang my stapler & other things off the sides & LOVE that it rotates! I made some fabulous labels using Lettering Delights. In the front I have; to do, to copy, to share, to send home (office notes), next week. Then I have personal ones like my calendar which I have to have in reach at all times. Then, is all the subjects, office, staff meetings, grade level meetings, committee meetings. I also put one for daily read aloud & homework.

Bulletin Board Linky Party
This is my main calendar area....notice how I integrate Spanish. The kids LOVE this! They think they leave my room speaking fluent Spanish....too cute! I I apologize for me being in the pics...I am looking for just BB pics & can't find them. This is when our school theme was "Ride the Wave". On the surfboard I put "Mrs........School of Fish with their names on fish. The background was water paper & I cut off a raffia table skirt & stapled it to the top.I used sandpaper on the bottom & hot glued shells for the sandy beach. I also used cut up flower leis necklaces for a border. This is our school wide AR board that I did for our theme "Garden of Learning". Here is my Dr. Seuss themed word wall....you can probably tell I'm obsessed with Seuss! Here is my long list of jobs.

I am planning on bringing this home over the summer & will be posting a home planner as well. … [Read more...] about Weekly Planner
