First Grade Classroom Jobs...What Do You Like?

Hey all,

I hope you all are enjoy your summer thus far!! What are some of the classroom jobs that you have to have in your classroom?

I have found several free classroom job printable(s) but wanted to get some feedback :)


Thanks!

It came!!....and another classroom creation :)

Hey everyone my Erin Condren planner has arrived!! I know I said I would post pics but haven't gotten around to taking any. I absolutely love it!! I can't wait to start using it next year.

I also, made these numbered calendar routine cards. I was inspired by this idea on Doodle Bugs Teaching post.
I thought this would be good for my class at the beginning of the year while they are still learning our calendar routine. Also, this would be helpful when a sub comes.








Here is her version:

Here are my cards which I am going to put on Popsicle sticks:

Calendar Time

Hey there,

This week I started decorating my classroom!!! Yes, I know it is early but I am so excited I couldn't wait! I am working on my calendar area and was wondering if any of you had suggestions of where I can buy calendar pieces. What is your calendar routine?

Thanks so much!!

Calling all lower elementary teachers :)

Hey everyone,

Hope you all are having a great week. I am beginning to level my classroom library for my first graders next year. I have a lot of read-aloud books and want to add to my independent reading/guided reading library. Is there any great websites where you can print out little books? Where do you like to buy these books. What are some of your favorite books for beginning readers?

Thanks.

Library, Rules, and a Great Llink

Hey there,


What are so must books to have in your classroom library for First Grade?  Also, what is one of your favorite places to get books for your library besides garage sales?

I thought I would share a great link for decorating a classroom!! Melanie at SchoolGirl Style 

has some wonderful ideas!! If you haven't checked out her site I would highly recommend it.  I also have been thinking about my classroom rules.  Here is what I have come up with so far.  F.Y.I they are still a work in progress.

Any Ideas?

Many of you know I love polka dots !! I have decided that this will be my theme next year.


I have thought of a lot of bulletin board ideas.

Here are some of my other BB names:

Reading Spot

Writing Wall: "Write" On The Dot


Student of the Week: Student Spotlight


Calendar: The Meeting Spot

Behavior: Spotted Making Good Choices (?)


I am trying to think of something cute for my class jobs, student work, birthday board, and behavior. Any ideas? Other BB ideas are welcome :).


Thanks,
