Using a Sharpie paint pen (THE BEST THING EVER) I labeled my desks today. Each group of desks is a different hundreds number, so students know which desks belong together (this group has 500, 501, and 502). Plus they can practice some place value activities with their desk numbers!

Progress Monitoring/IEP Binder This is for my kids who are in RTI or SPED. 1. Calendar to document days I progress monitored, upcoming meetings, and parent communication for these students. 2. Each student has a tab. 3. First page is mainly for test scores, they ask for it at every meeting. And then tabs for data (progress monitoring sheets), student work (related to struggling area), and notes (from the meeting and next steps). 4. Word lists from last year organized by level. :)

Teacher Tip

Here is a Teacher Tip for all teachers leaving their position at the end of the school year:

Make sure you tie up all the loose ends before you consider yourself done.  Grades, inventory, room cleaning, appropriate paperwork turned in to the principal. Leave your room, job, space better than you found it. Even if you didn’t like your job...there are people who really don’t want to clean up after you.

Why am I bestowing this tip you ask?  I spent 20 minutes with one of my school’s administrative secretary’s figuring out the screw-up and then re-entering my now former counterpart PE teacher’s grades in our online grade book because dumb nut did it wrong...even after 3 years.
