New additions to my Must Have Teacher forms

When I create something for me to use in the classroom, I usually end up revamping it after a year or so as there are always little things that either bothered me about it or just didn't work for me.  This past year was no different in that I am always trying to make my job a little more efficient with everyday teacher tasks/duties.  One thing I'm really trying to become more efficient with is my data collection and assessment binders with the notes/data I collect on my students and for it to be easy to use.  So I made a few new forms/recording sheets this year that I used in the classroom and have now made some minor adjustments to those and have added them to my MUST Have Teacher Forms in my TPT store.

 Here are a few things I have added:

 For my reading and writing workshop, I created simple blank calendars to write my student's names who I needed to see which allowed me to keep track on who I saw.  I also made some new covers with some new backgrounds which is always fun to change those up.

I created some quick concept of print observation sheets that I could keep on a clip board and quickly write a student's name and the date down when I saw that student had shown that concept.

I created some a few different types of running record data collection recording sheets to keep my student's reading levels.


I created some quick strategies good readers use observation sheets that I could keep on a clip board and quickly write a student's name and the date down when I saw that student using that strategy.


I always try to have an individual recording sheet on each student to make notes on their progress.  This one is for reading strategies.


I created some quick listening and speaking observation sheets that I could keep on a clip board and quickly write a student's name and the date down when I saw that student using that strategy.



I  use these sheets at the beginning of the year to keep a daily track of my observations on 
how the students are adjusting to big school.






I  always try to leave a detailed plan for my substitute along with an Overview of my classroom.  I have added my overview to give you an idea or starting point for your own letter to the substitute.  I also started using my mimio this year so I have to create a type of cheat sheet for any substitute that hadn't used a mimio and had no clue on how to calibrate it to start using it.

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 t...

Blank Game Boards

Image
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 ...

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 cla...
