Stop Sign Behavior Chips

I ran across of a pin on Pinterest that showed these, but darn it they didn't have them made and I really wanted to try to use them.  I have a very talkative group and they were in need of something that was more concrete for them.  I started using these today and WOW what a change.  I only had to pass out a few before the whole class was quite and working.

I am thinking of developing this plan even more with an additional sheet and guidelines for the room.  The kids helped generate the parameters of 1 = warning, 2 = recess, and 3 = note home.  I love it when the kids are invested and it is their own ideas because then the plan works even better because it was their idea.  We as a class also decided that the moment they walked in this plan started to the moment they walked out.  I was thinking afterwards "What a great way to document behavior with minimal effort!!" It could help you document the number of times that a student misbehaved during the day and we all know how important documentation is, but sometimes can consume our lives.  I am excited to try this out and let you know how that part of the plan works!

In the meantime, enjoy being able to pick up this printable at my teacher's store's for only $1.00.  Click HERE to grab this tool!

Grading Clothespins

On Pinterest I found a neat way to use clothespins to organize student work that needed grading. The site did not have a printable so I created one to use. I know as a teacher part of what I like is finding really cool things on the internet but sometimes I just don't have the time to create what I need and prepare. So! I created this for you as well and put it in my TpT Store AND I just opened a store in Teachers Notebook! I am hoping this weekend to make my own and post a picture of them in action. I hope you can use and enjoy the labels because I had fun creating them.

So, I have tried my hand at creating some decorative labels to use in the classroom.  I am planning to use these in my classroom and hopefully have some pictures of them in use.  I have up to 27 labels as this is our maximum limit in our district per classroom.  You can visit my TpT store to purchase these labels and if you are in need of more, please email me and I would be happy to create a additional page for you.

New Items at TpT!!

A couple of new items that I have put up in my store.  I love this first one that is one of the Behavior Charts I have used in the classroom.  It allows you to have up to three goals for the student and break your marking periods into how your schedule is laid out  Students receive a 3-2-1 for each marking period related to how their behavior is.  3 being the best and 1 being the worst  You can then calculate a percentage score to send home to parents.  I always us 80% as a benchmark for a great day.  Please make sure you have a conference with parents on an acceptable percentage so students expectations are the same at both home and school.

I also love using Exit Slips in my classroom to monitor student understanding of concepts taught during a lesson.  I created these that have a more direct focus on what I want them to be writing.  They are to write one thing they learned and one question they still have about something they aren't understanding.  A good amount of students are more comfortable writing a question that they know you will only see versus raising their hand putting them in front of the class.

I hope you enjoy and can use these item in your classroom and have the success I have had as well.  Please leave a comment or question about my products.
