Welcome! Here is the view of our first grade hallway at Wayland Bonds Elementary! This year we decided to go with a camping theme. Here is the camping welcome sign as you enter the first grade hallway. We each took laminated scrapbook paper and glued it to the wall with a cloths pin. My Classroom Pictures Here is a look into my classroom! This is my teacher desk. I have each pod of desks labeled with group signs. Click HERE to download my group signs from my TpT Store! The baskets on the shelf are each student's individual book basket for their independent reading books. I use this pocket chart to store the student's library and lunch cards. Weekly Activities and Worksheets This is how I organize the week's worksheets and activities. Sharpened Pencils When my students need a sharpened pencil they just come get one from the drawer. Need a Color/Found a Crayon When there are crayons found on the floor, the students simply put them in the bin. Centers Each center tub is labeled with a sign. Files

The Middle School Mouth Aprendendo Português Chair "Footies" I have had many e-mailing me from Pinterest & Art With Mr. E ...."WHAT IS ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR CHAIRS?!?!" So the best way to answer all of you who've asked...a blog post!! Felt is the material I use. Cut the felt into thirds. Fold it over once. Center on the bottom of your chair leg. Tie rubber band around felt in the groove where the "foot" of the chair meets the leg of the chair. Keep looping it...over and over..until you can't loop it anymore. There ya go! Usually my "footies" will stay on the chairs the whole year long if I've tied them on tight enough.

Best. Thing. Ever. I can't take any credit for this idea, but it is my civic duty to pass it along to you. It has rocked my world. And it rivals Find-it / Fix-it for the top slot of 'all-time best thing to grace my classroom.' I feel like there should be a drum roll and spotlights as I introduce you to..... The Clip Chart! I've used flip cards and tally charts and dabbled around in a whole bunch of other complicated behavior management systems. This was an interesting start to a school year. Our second grade teachers had started using a clip chart this year and spoke highly of it at lunch. Holy Cow! It was as if I had flipped a switch. Here's why.... In any given class you are going to have your talkers and your rule-breakers and you are going to have your good little doobies. Each student has a clothespin and they all start the day in the middle of the chart on "Ready to Learn." Here's the best part.... The good little doobies are rewarded for being good little doobies. Here's the mostest bestest part....

Ms.Cynthia's 2nd and 3rd Grade! Classroom Decor And Organization Hi everyone, I'm here today to show you MY CLASSROOM! Yay!! I took lots of pictures before taking it all down for the summer so I have plenty to show :) Let's start with my reading corner.

Next to my word wall, I have my digraphs posters. This is my center rotation board. Here are my colors and shapes displays. My classroom rules. This is my behavior clip chart. My "Pick Me" and "Mystery Walker" buckets. I keep this at the top of my whiteboard. And finally.... my HUGE bulletin board! The only thing I forgot to take a picture of is my desk...
