I don't know how many times I have heard this from substitute and special area teachers, but it has definitely been too many! And I am determined to win this battle! So, where do you go when you need ideas? Pinterest, of course! I made up some "Quiet Spray!" You spray the ROOM to signal children to get quiet. Or you can just leave the bottle empty. Mine love the mist in the air. It is so funny! {I do not condone spraying a child! As much as you might want to! Ha! ;)} Original Idea I had to have some quiet critters! They are so cute! I give them incentive tickets with it. Our school participates in a School Wide Positive Behavior Support program, and we use cub cash as an incentive. They can cash it in at our cub store. This is my "on task" container with the critters. I always change out my prizes. This month I am using crazy straws {from the Dollar Tree}. You would think they were gold the way they carry on about them! Ha! They really want them! They even take it to lunch and drink their milk with it! So funny! Original Quiet Critter Idea I have uploaded these FREEBIES onto TPT, because Google Docs has not been very cooperative lately. :( Click the pic below to download the crazy straw labels. Click below to download the other quiet labels, along with some pep cards. Hand the student the card to redirect. When they have read it, they flip it over and you can then pick it up. You can redirect a child without having to stop and interrupt learning! Love these during observations! What do you do to keep your class quiet? I must say these are working for the most part; my little ones just need lots of reminders! On a sidenote {and mainly to make myself accountable!}, I am working on a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory math and literacy unit. Be on the lookout! I also can't wait to share what we did for Valentine's Day last year. I will save that for another post. MLK Jr. Day is coming up! Here is the little display I did last year. I found it here. Students wrote and then typed what they wanted to be when they grew up. I can't wait to see what everyone else plans on doing! Have a fabulous Friday! ~The Lemonade Stand Teachers

Each day this week, I will be sharing one of my top 5 teacher must-have items. These are items that make my teacher life easier, my classroom more organized, and my time more efficient. So join me each day to see another must-have item! Edited to add: See the other blog posts in this series {HERE}, {HERE}, {HERE}, and {HERE}. #1: Sterilite 3-Drawer Storage Containers {Affiliate Link} This links to a 4-pack of drawers which is how many I use in my classroom. These 3-drawer containers made by Sterilite are a life-saver! They are designed to fit 8.5" x 11" paper perfectly with room to spare. Let me show you how I use them in my classroom. Amazon Affiliate Disclosure: 2nd Grade Stuff is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. If you click on an affiliate link on this blog and purchase, Amazon will toss a few coins my way, at no extra cost to you, to help keep this blog up and running. I have one drawer per subject area. I plan one unit at a time, so I put all of my unit plans, materials, and copies in the drawers. Then when it's time to use a set of copies or materials, I just pull them out of the drawer and down into the Monday - Friday bins. I will have a blog post about those later! ;) These colorful labels are from Learning in Wonderland and can be purchased {HERE}. The larger size drawers are also the perfect fit for iPads or similar sized tablets. If you are able, you can also drill a hole in the back of the drawer for your charger cable to slip through! The smaller 5-drawer containers are also a perfect fit for iPods if you're lucky enough to have those in your classroom. Those can be found {Affiliate Link} HERE in a pack of 4 as well. Lastly, I use the 3-drawer containers on my teacher desk to organize papers that need to be graded, copied, and filed. Notice that I left these transparent purposely so that I can see inside! It's easy to forget about papers when you can't see what's inside. This set stays on or near my teacher desk and helps to avoid stacks of paper sitting everywhere! So there you have it! My #1 Teacher Must-Have item - 3-Drawer Sterilite Containers {Affiliate Link}! Join me tomorrow night here on the 2nd Grade Stuff blog, on my Facebook page, or on Instagram to see #2! See ya then! :)

So, I posted recently that my sixth graders were writing a mystery that was going to take place in the library. I took two of the best mysteries that were submitted and combined them! Here's how our mystery looked: The Problem: Mrs. Svarda got to school on Monday morning and saw the mess. At first she was just mad that all of the books were out, then she saw that all the books were missing their endings. She picked up a book and noticed that the barcode was missing, too. She looked around and found that several books were missing their endings and barcodes. The scanners were also missing so no one could check out books! Then Mrs. Svarda was scared and mad. Who could've done such a thing? What happened here? How could this happen? She needed help. Starbelly Sneetch Alibi: It was 5:00 and I heard a knock on my door. It was Fox in Socks. He came in and I turned off my music and put away my IPod. We played at my house until we got bored. We decided it would be fun to go to the movies. We texted Hop On Pop and Yertle the Turtle to see if they wanted to come, too. Everyone came to the movie except Hop on Pop. After the movie we couldn't think of what to do so we walked around. We thought we might stop by the library to visit Hop On Pop. It started to rain as we walked so we stopped at Fox in Sock's house to pick up some blankets to keep dry on our walk. Hop On Pop Alibi: It was 5:00 and I was looking at my clock when the doorbell rang. It was Yertle the Turtle. He had brought me some homemade bread. He asked if I wanted to go to the mall. My mom said, "No. I had to work on my homework at the library." Yertle the Turtle got a text right after that asking if we wanted to go and see the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie. Bummer. I really wanted to see a movie and hated that I had to go to the library instead. Yertle the Turtle left to meet everyone for the movie. I headed to the library with my homework. My animal report was due on Monday and mom said I couldn't do anything fun until I was finished with the report. The fun thing was that everyone came by the library after the movie and told me all about it. They had a great time. At 8:00, everyone had to head home. I had about thirty minutes left of homework, so I told them I'd have to stay around just a bit longer... Yertle the Turtle Alibi: It was 4:00 and I was cooking some homemade bread. When it was done I wanted to have some fun so I took some bread over to my friend Hop On Pop. I asked if he wanted to go to the mall, but then I got a text from Fox in Socks and Starbelly Sneetch asking if I wanted to go to the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie. My mom said I could go to the movie, but his mom said he had to do homework. He tried not to show it, but boy, was he mad. I had to leave Hop On Pop to make it to the movie on time. I told him if we had time, we'd stop by the library after the movie to hang out with him. Fox in Socks' Alibi: I was sitting in my room when my mom came in and said when I finished my chores I could play. I decided to go over to Starbelly Sneetch's house to play. We thought it would be fun to go to see a movie and texted our friends to see if they could come, too. When the movie was over we went by my house to get some blankets because it was raining and we didn't want to get wet. Then, we headed to the library to visit Hop On Pop because he was doing homework there. At the library, I looked for the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book. I really liked the movie so I thought I would like the book. What the students do: When the students entered the library, they each grabbed a clipboard with a pencil, ingredients of a mystery checklist, alibis, map of the crime scene, and suspect list attached to it. They also grabbed a highlighter. I had the problem and alibis typed up on my SMART board including pictures of the characters. I read the problem and each alibi to the students. We walked through the ingredients of a mystery and checked off all of the mystery elements that our mystery had on the list. Then, I separated the students into two groups. One team surveyed the crime scene and drew the map of the evidence in the crime scene first. The second team worked in teams to read through the alibis and highlight evidence they found in the text that made them believe a character or characters might be guilty. After ten minutes, the teams swapped stations. We returned together as a group to discuss all of the evidence the students had found in the crime scene as well as the alibis that led them to believe that specific characters could be guilty of the crime. We completed the suspect list together. Students work in teams to highlight evidence in the alibis. Students sketched the crime scene. We taped off the crime scene with caution tape. The crime scene included Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, barcodes with fur on them (from characters), endings ripped out of the end of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books (these were really just copies I ripped), a blanket, movie ticketes (3), and a book about bumblebees (this was the book Hop On Pop was using to do his research for homework). I found the copies for the ingredients of a mystery checklist and suspect list from Beth Newingham's Scholastic post about the mystery unit she teaches in her classroom. The Solution The students really thought like detectives in this lesson! I did catch a few of them off guard with my red herrings, though. The fuzz on the barcodes made some of them immediately suspect Fox in Socks and the Starbelly Sneetch. One of the kids said, "This is the best lesson we've had in the library all year!" So, you can make whoever you want responsible for the crime. I decided that Hop On Pop was guilty. He was mad that he did not get to go to the movie with his friends. He was working on his report about bumblebees (since bears love honey) and had to stay later than his friends in the library to finish up. All of the other characters visited the library to visit Hop On Pop and they did not say anything about something being wrong in the library. Hop On Pop tore the endings out of the books when his friends left. To excite the kids about checking out mysteries in our library, we created a mystery display. All of the books were sealed in brown paper bags with the barcodes on the outside so we could check the books out without opening the bags. Each bag had a different mystery inside. This was a fun way for our students to try reading something new in the library and practice their detective skills we learned in our lesson together! Mystery books in mystery bags!
