Hi there, teacher friend!! Since you’re here, you probably either JUST snagged a new teaching job or are planning to in the very near future, yes? Either way, CONGRATS! Starting a new job is so exciting and full of adventures. I’m STOKED for you. So, whether it’s your very first teaching job or you
You are purchasing a set of labels you can use to create a mailbox system using Sterilite drawer bins. This set features adorable Melonheadz clip art to add a personal touch for each student! You can use these labels to create: Mailboxes Name Tags Bookmarks Supply labels for your classroom The above are just suggestions. The labels are editable so you can use them for any purpose in your classroom. How do I use them? I put a folder at the bottom of each drawer and I place stand out pieces of work in these folders for each child. It creates an easy to maintain portfolio system. On top of the folders, I place regular school work that needs to be handed back to my students. Once a week, I send home a week’s worth of student work. It all goes home on one day and that helps student work get to parents without anything getting lost. Two student helpers are in charge of putting away student work. The drawers make it incredibly easy for my kids to do this. One of the huge benefits of this system is that you will always have student work readily available. Many times an IEP meeting will pop up and I will be scrambling to find student work. Since I have the portfolios in here, all I have to do is take that folder with me to meetings. I also like to take these out for parent conferences so parents can see the progress their children have made. Want more details? I put a blog post together that explains everything! Use the link below to read more: Mailbox Blog Post Exciting Update 3: A Character Choice Book that you can use to have your students select their "character" for the year! Update 2: Every label is now included in 8 colors! It has grown to over 1,000 pages of labels! Pink Orange Yellow Green Blue Purple Black White Update 1: One of the most common requests I've received in the past years is to include the same children from my skinny name tags and my book bin label sets. I've done a massive update and this set now includes over 400 kids! Both are included with white and black backgrounds! Please note that all these labels are editable using Microsoft PowerPoint and were measured to fit standard sized Sterilite Drawer Bins that hold paper measuring 8.5X11 inches.
This week was pre-planning and I really got almost nothing done. I just can't figure out what to do with my room. I don't like distraction and clutter and lots of stuff. Most of the other teachers have cute themes in their rooms but it's visual overload to me. So my room tends to look pretty plain and dare I say, boring, compared to everyone else's. So far this is what I've got... As you can see, I'm painting my walls light blue. (They're actually finished now.) I figure it's a nice calm color. But I have no idea where to go from here. I did make some things to hang on the walls... I also put up our schedule... And that's about it. School starts on Monday!!! How will I ever be ready? Is it ok to decorate later? Will the kids be sad about their plain room? Stay tuned...

How to get organized at work with ADHD - This is a struggle for so many with ADHD, here are several tips for surviving and thriving at work.
Unusual seating arrangements call for an unusual seating chart. I talked about group arrangements here. I knew my creative young colleague would come to the rescue on seating charts. And she did. While my desks are in groups, this is the chart she gave me to use: The desk groups (with chairs) are on the master. Sticky notes are cut to the size of the "desks" in pink and blue colors to indicate genders. I write the first names on the sticky, then stick the note on the sheet "desk." I can pull them up easily to rearrange. Once I have a seating arrangement I like, I slip the whole paper with sticky notes into a page protector so they are visible but won't get pulled off by accident. Then, I keep all my seating charts on a clipboard, so they are easy to find. I used to dread new seating charts, but this format makes it so easy. I rearrange groups and seating much more often now. Hurray for smart young colleagues who still teach this old dog new tricks!

Do you have helpers in your classroom? Many teachers have asked over the years about how classroom helpers work in our classes. Here are the top three questions: "Why do you have classroom helpers?" "How do you organize our helpers?" "Can you help me get mine started?" Here are our answers: 1. It helps build a community. 2. The children take on a responsibility/leadership role. 3. Helps the classroom run smoothly. 4. Reduces the teacher's workload. 5. Children LOVE taking responsibility for our room! Each Monday the children look forward to their new jobs! We rotate the jobs because more that one child usually enjoys a job. We like to give every child an opportunity to try each job. Sometimes they find they really enjoy a job that they thought they wouldn't like. Every classroom has a different plan for changing helpers and you have to find what works for you! *Alison loves to change her helpers Friday before she leaves for the day. It is just part of her routine and she feels great about getting it done early! *I love to change mine with the kids on Monday morning as part of my "Monday Morning Routine." It helps us ease back into our week! *Another friend of mine changes her helpers every two weeks because one was too fast. Once the helpers are assigned and posted on our "Helpers" chart the week starts. I never forget who has a job because the chart is there to refer to and the kids know their jobs and take pride in having them. My answer is "YES!" We have several helpers to match what you might need in your room. They are also editable and you can change the job titles & add your students names. You can even add your own cards to match on the "blank" card pages. Once you choose the theme/style that matches your classroom, putting it together is easy peasy! Here is the set I used last year: I backed my cards after I printed them with yellow cardstock to match my color scheme. There are so many ways to display your helpers, here are a few of the ideas we have used: We have attached them on ribbons and used clothespins for the names. We have placed them in a pocket chart and just tucked the children name card next to the job. We have placed them on a magnetic surface, too! These are just some of the jobs in the pack! Best thing, they are EDITABLE! You decide what the names of the jobs are. Here is our selection in a variety of themes: (You can click on any picture below to see it in our store.)
