At this time of year, you may notice your students' feelings running the gamut from laughter to tears within the hour. (And possibly your feelings, too! September is a hectic time for teachers!) :) In my class, I touch on the topic of feelings throughout the year and I like to include different feelings activities and games as part of our learning. Below you'll find a worksheet I have used after reading one of my favourite books on feelings called, The Way I Feel, by Janan Cain. Since I teach preschoolers, I scribed their ideas onto the sheet for them and they coloured the pictures to show the different emotions. Older students could fill in the sheet on their own OR you may like to introduce them to my full Feelings Mini-book! You can see the worksheet and the mini-book in the collage below. If you think this resource set could be useful to you, I'm happy to share it! Just pop over {here} to pick it up!

A few weeks ago, I asked teachers on my FB page for topics of interest. I wrote all of the topics down and pinned them on my office's bulletin board.

How does YOUR class celebrate Dental Health Month? We have a Plaque Attack!! This has to be one of the most gross science experiments ever... but that's exactly why you have to try it in your classroom! Can you tell which cups above have the sugar added? YES! The ones growing the disgusting plague! The trick to this experiment is certainly to make sure you use warm, not hot, water. This will activate the yeast properly. As you discuss the experiment with the class, talk about how sugar in our mouths creates plaque too. Pair this lesson with a new toothbrush for each student! They will be sure to eliminate any Plaque Attacks in their own mouths by brushing 2 times a day and flossing too. Want to have a Plaque Attack in YOUR room?

I am linking up with Ashley Reed from Just Reed this mid-week to share in my Top 10 Pins in Classroom Management! I know that I already shared in how my grade level shares in our classroom behavior but we also input some other great ideas and then some! As I was looking at my Pinterest board... Everything First Grade! (click on the words to take you there-- I seriously need to organize my boards better but sometimes I get so pin-happy that I can't help myself!), here are some pins that I have either already incorporated or will do this year! 1. Voice Levels: I know that this concept seems really simple, but I love how they give it a numerical value and assign it a phrase like "Silence is Golden" or my personal favourite, "Spy Talk". In my classroom, I have the plain old red, yellow, and green circles and that's about it. I like this and think I will post this up in the front of my classroom in addition to my coloured circles. teachingforfameandmoney.blogspot.com 2. Hand Signals: Loving the "Hand Jive" vibe to this poster and love it as a display for kids. I use hand signals in my classroom (different than these) and find them so useful. I especially like the "I understand/I don't understand" which is especially helpful for our ESOL/ESL kids. rainbowswithinreach.blogspot.com 3. Behaviour Beads: Similar to bucket fillers. I like this idea as they earn beads for being bucket fillers and at the end of the week they can make a bracelet. Bling-bling!! rainbowswithinreach.blogspot.com 4. Bucket Filler Necklace: Goes along with the idea of the buckets... Students wear a necklace for being bucket fillers! Kids really love getting noticed for the great things they do! Like I always tell my kiddos when coaching others on a task... "We want to encourage, not discourage!" seusstastic classroom 5. Fun Attention Grabbers: CLASS!!! Yes!!! LOL! I am always looking for fun ways that get their attention other than the clapping out a rhythm, "Give me 5", "1-2-3, eyes on me!"... Here are some other cute ways, as I am sure you might have some other ones too! 6. Brain Breaks! Yes! Even I need them. One of my favourite ones to do is the Just Dance Wii ones on youtube (like the one I have here because I love Maroon 5 and Adam Levine!). They are fun to do and like anything on the internet, preview them first! Go ahead and play the video-- you know you want to move like Jagger!!! Really, it's a great dance video! No ones looking!! LOL! If the dance craze is not your thang, then I do have some brain break cards that I have printed, cut, and laminated that I have hanging on my whiteboard on a key ring. numberonepencils.blogspot.com 7. Behaviour Coupons: I really like the idea of behaviour coupons for the classroom. I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel that treasure box/candy jar can get boring and not only that but I feel like kids get way too much material things and these simple, low to no cost (my husband would be so happy, happy, happy if I spent less money on my classroom-- can I get an Amen?) coupons are a great way to reinforce good behaviour with little effort on our part other than printing and cutting them out! Fabulous!!! Behavior Coupons with a QR code!!! So, not only do they get a behavior coupon, but now they get to scan it!! Way cool in my book! classroomfreebies.blogspot.com 8. Brownie Points: I used to do a chain link in my class and each link represented whenever my class earned a compliment or were just extra fabulous. This is another cute and fun way! 9. RESPECT: Aretha sang it best! I am big believer in respect in the classroom (aren't we all??) and I saw these cute kids by whimsyworkshop.blogspot.com and thought what a cute way to help with the beginning of the year and classroom management and behavior! 10. What to do? What to do? I like this visual post for the whiteboard or chalkboard that shows students what materials they need and what they "can" and "cannot" do. firstgradeglitterandgiggles.blogspot.com I hope this gave you some new ideas that you can pin and use! I am working on some printables for my Wizard of Oz room and I am so excited! I just finished and will be uploading a new getting to know you packet on TPT-- I Mustache You a Question-- Getting to Know You Questions and Activities! I was a *little* obsessed with the mustache thing after reading the book "Mustache" by Mac Barnett with my boys and had to make a little something to with it. And so, if you managed to stay with my this far.... here is a little freebie for you from my new packet... It is from the activity: Click on the picture to take you there!
