Individual Behavior Management

I think I've mentioned before that my room is small. I'm not exagerrating, it's really tiny. I'm going to have to measure it one day, but I'm a little scared to see the actual digits.

Everyone is familiar with the "clip" behavior system. As with anything, I have to take a great idea and modify it to fit my needs and up the cuteness factor a little, Yes, it is posted on the back door of my classroom. I cut the tree trunk out of plain brown construction paper. The parts of the tree are just pieces of circular scrapbook paper.



The wooden squirrels were purchased at Michael's. I had to travel to three different Michael's this past summer to get the number I needed. The squirrels are a seasonal item from Summer 2010. I just hot glued a magnet on the back of each. The yellow and red signs are car magnets that I made at VistaPrint.

Another handy tip-I wanted to be able to reuse the squirrels if I tired of them on my behavior chart. I used my label maker with the clear label tape to add my students' names to each squirrel.

Linking Up...Five for Friday

I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for my first ever Five for Friday.  I'm trying to forget today is Friday because the more Fridays I see, the more I remember that summer is winding down.  >>Insert pity party here>>     I would love to say my nose has been stuck in a professional development book, but instead I've been binge watching The Killing and Scandal on Netflix.  So many shows and so little time before school starts!  Which leads us to number 2!     What did I ever do without Roku?  I'm loving having Amazon Prime and Netflix so easily accessible.  The headphones attached to the remote is ingenious.  Best thing since sliced bread...     I finally bit the bullet this week and ordered this rug for the living room.  Rug shopping is stressful; (binge watching Scandal is not).   It should be here in two days.  I'm hoping it looks as good i...

VistaPrint (A Year Later)

Linking up with Ms. Bainbridge's VistaPrint Fever linky party. I'm back! Wow, I feel rested after a year long vacation! Technically not quite a year, but who is counting? My summer is coming to a close, and I'm trying not to count how many days left I have of sleeping in until ten...I mean waking up at seven (Wink, Wink). In honor of my first post back and my last post before I dropped off the blogosphere, I find it only fitting to have another VistaPrint update. Here's what I ordered for the upcoming school year. I'm making a change from pirates to owls as you'll see evidenced below: Labels (no explanation needed) Does anyone else get a nervous tic when all their envelopes don't come back signed the next day. Nah, that's probably just me. Small rubber stamp Large rubber stamp for make-up work Small Car Magnet I will place the child's name at the bottom on his/her birthday.

New Classroom!!!!

Can you tell I'm super excited? I've been teaching in a teeny tiny room for the last three years. My room was originally built as a "Resource Room" and the only good thing I can say about it was the office had plenty of storage, but the actual room was the size of a closet. Out in blogland, I'm always surprised when I see pictures of other teachers' rooms and they call their rooms tiny. I would happily trade them for their "tiny" rooms. This past year, I was lucky enough to utilize the resource room across the hall for literacy and free centers. The two rooms together actually equal the size of a normal classroom. Though it was much better, it is nice to finally graduate to a full size classroom, and have all my stuff in one space. Last week, I set about the task of moving. I can't believe I had so much stuff. I'm super excited about my new LARGE classroom and the fact that I get to share an office with my teaching buddy! We taug...
