Must Have Teacher Forms - Beginning of the Year

I can't believe it's August and I don't really want to say this or think this but school is just around the corner.  So I'm trying to get a list together of what I need to get done when I go in to set up my classroom up and my classroom forms are on the top of the list to get organized.  I have my excel spreadsheets ready so when I get my class list I can just type the students names in.  The class forms I keep on the spreadsheet are as follows:
- Supply Money Collected
- Where Do Students Go
- Forms Passed in
- Hot Lunch Order
- 100th day trail mix tracker (this is for the 100th day and I keep track of what student is bringing in what treat)
- Special Spot (I have a bench in my classroom that a student gets to sit on each day and invite a friend...I use this form to keep track of the date each student sits on the bench.  I print this form out and and print in the dates.)
- Reading Levels
- Sharing News (I get 2 students to share news everyday and this form helps me keep track of the dates each student shares their news.  I print this form out and print in the dates.)
- Attendance
- Student Medical Information 
- School Closure Information sheet (We have a few days in winter that school could be closed and when that happens, I need to get in touch with every parent to inform them that school is closed and see if they will be picking up their child or that the bus will be coming earlier.  This form allows me to keep track of who I have called and if I spoke to someone or had to leave a message.)
- Student Emergency Numbers

 Here are some of the forms:

I LOVE the Dollar Store as I know all teachers do and my favourite purchase from the Dollar store are these Presentation Folders that have clear plastic sleeves in them.  


So I use these folders to keep my student information, fire drill procedures and anything else I can think of because they are fantastic!!!  Here's a little sneak on how I use them.







Again, every year I try to get a little bit more organized so this year I will be trying to keep my monthly planning together and in one spot.  I will be binding each month's planning sheets together so I can easily grab it and go.  Here are a pictures of what it looks like.

Plant Journal Revisted with a New Addition Bean Greenhouse Activity

Image
Hello,  I cannot believe I uploaded my plant journal in 2012!!!  I have been using this plant journal with my students for 12 years!!! My students still get excited when they get their journal and investigate their plant growth.   For the past two years I have started the Bean Greenhouses where my students put a few beans in wet cotton balls, place them in a ziploc and we put them on the window and watch them grow.  This year I have created a quick journal for my students to observe their observations.  I always give 3 beans to each student because the ziploc is rather small for any more.  This year my students will be able to get their Bean Greenhouse journal, put down what day it is of growing and then colour in what stage they see their beans. They can also colour in the weather - sunny, partly sunny or cloudy.     Every year I do a living things unit and plant a radish seed with my students.   However, I have never felt the kids have had a great plant journal to keep all their no

Blank Game Boards

Every year, no matter what grade level I am teaching, I end the year with the students making a game they can play at school and then take it home to play with their family.   And every year it seems I am scrambling to put the materials together for the students.   I have found the younger students really need something concrete they can use.   I came up with these pre-made template.   I made templates without spinners, with different types of spinners and with places for cards.   I have all the templates in a binder in clear plastic protectors and I get the students to pick which template they want the day before we do the activity so I can have the templates ready for the kids.   I also have pre-made squares with various game standards such as “Miss a turn” and Go back 2 spaces” the kids can cut out and glue on the squares they want.   There are also blank squares they can print on to customize their game.   I also give the students a template to help with the writing of their direc

Teacher Week 2013 Classroom Management

Image
Hi everyone,  I have to say, I'm really enjoying this Teacher Week 2013. It's my first time participating in something like this.  Now on to classroom management. All schools in the Halifax Regional School Board uses Positive Effective Behaviour Supports (PEBS).  This is a school-wide system of support that includes proactive strategies for defining, teaching and supporting appropriate student behaviours.  It looks at what our students can do and are doing rather than what they shouldn't do and how we as adults interact with them.  Each student receives a PEBS matrix (a gird) to take home and review with their parents and a PEBS matrix is up in every classroom and teachers routinely refer to the PEBS matrix. We also use Gems with the whole school.  Gems are awarded to students who demonstrate positive behaviours as outlined in the PEBS matrix.  Each class has their own jar into which students deposit gems as they receive them.  Each class decides on a class goal
