Motivation and Organization Time!
Linking up with Joanne and Kristen & Elizabeth for their weekly linkies :)
I love pocket charts!!!
Yes, I know it sounds cheesy, but I do... I use them throughout my room to make things interactive.
I use it for behavior.
The students put their weekly goals in them (that's a dry erase sentence strip).
I keep vocabulary weekly words in them - for all the different subjects.
I put random classroom pictures in them for throughout the year.
I use them for helpers.
I use magnetic ones for daily 5 stations (guess I haven't taken my own picture of it).
Then I have random ones that I pull out throughout the year for centers, open house braille names, spelling words, etc...
Do you also use pocket charts?
Next up is Joanne's Motivation Linky :)
Wanted to share something I did 2 years ago that I have loved using... Vistaprint's Encouragement Cards.
They are just their "free" business cards that I keep on my desk for a quick grab and give. The top says, "Just a little note to tell you how wonderful you were in class today." There is room to write a little note of what I saw that I thought they did great. Students love them, I have seen them in pencil boxes and used as bookmarks throughout the year. Not my own idea though, I created it from all the ideas of Stephanie in Teaching in Room 6. She has a ton of Vistaprint ideas.
Do you also do some kind of encouragement notes?
