A Little Classroom Management & Organization
My grade level used to have those cute little behavior ladders that are all over Pinterest. Last year our principal wanted us to have something that was school wide. Yes, we could have all used those little ladders all the way from PK to 4th grade, but, the belief was that sometimes one thing doesn’t work for everyone. So to keep everything “the same” but “different”, we had to come up with a system where PK-K got 7 colors for changes, 1st- six colors, 2nd- five, etc. The thinking was that the older the student gets, the more they should already know the rules. So…here is what we use in 2nd grade. “Wow” of course is going above & beyond. The students receive positive rewards for staying on green and moving to purple. We have a school wide ticket system so the students can trade their tickets in for special privileges. (Notice the clips I made—Pinterest.)
Green is “YEA”, yellow-warning, red-10min off recess, blue-call parent.
Those little cards in the holder are “Expectations” (for lack of a better word) cards. I will choose the expectations before we start each activity. I added magnets to the back so I obviously won't have them all displayed at once. They work pretty good. I also have some for materials they will need—glue, pencil, markers, etc.
Organization---Here is what I did to SNAZZY up my bins. This is how I organize my daily lessons. Each box has just about everything I need for the day. The other bins hold “JUNK”, which is why I wanted to hide it. I just cut some of the new border I will be using and taped it on the inside of the drawers. (LOVE, <3, LOVE Dots on Turquoise).
Hopefully I gave you something you can use.

I Love Pinterest! Yes, I Do!…
I love Pinterest! How ‘bout you?
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Pinterest! Did I mention I love Pinterest? I found this wonderful bookmarking site, that has consumed much of my time since the first week in June. Not so much my blog stalking time, but my laundry, kitchen cleaning, closet organizing, sweeping, mopping, bathroom scrubbing time. It has also kept me awake long into the wee hours of the morning. There’s so much stuff to see and pin, that you can’t stop. That next wonderful “picture” might be just the thing I need to make, purchase, or do in my classroom.
Seriously, if you need something to peruse around…this is IT. If you need an invite let me know. Here is a link to my Pinterest account for you to check out!
