Student Data

This year I'm all about student data and having my students be responsible and concious of their progress.  After searching on the internet of data sheets, I finally created one.

each student will receive a sheet printed back and forth and on the lines provided on the bottom of the sheet is where they will titled each assessment..(pre test, quizzes, and post test)  This is a great way for my students to know how they are doing in each subject.

Math Rotations

This is a must try this year...

Word Wall

Last year, I tried to keep up with my word wall and I had realized I failed to refer to it often.  I think this would be an awesome way for my students to constantly refer to words learned throughout the year or maybe quarterly with a portable word wall.

C.H.A.M.P. and sometimes S {Classsroom Management}

Champs is a classroom management technique that minimizes off task behavior and produce more on task students. I came into contact with this technique in 2011 and fell in love with it.  Although I have yet to use it in my classroom, this summer made me think how easy expressing classroom expectations would be with CHAMPS.

I'm thinking of creating my very own CHAMPs chart...similar to this one

Common Core Organization




So one of my tasks this summer was organization.  As we segway into Common Core, I thought to myself....I need to organize these strands.  Pinterest always does the trick and I saw this awesome way to organize each strand with a folder.  But that means I have to type each strand so that I can print them out on labels and stick them onto the folder.
So below is the product that I am trying to recreate.

I am still working on Math common core standards but I have finished the Reading.  Grab it below
