Whether it's organizing my classroom materials for the week, having a routine for collecting papers or passing out manipulatives, or even ... Read More about Staying Organized with Erin Condren

The Power of Appreciation

Words have power. We talk a lot about this in first grade as we learn to be respectful--treating others the way that you want to be treated. Being respectful also just so happens to be the 2nd rule in our classroom:  Words can build up or they can tear others down. When we talked about words that show respect and build others up, my students decided that "Thank you" is a very powerful ... Read More about The Power of Appreciation

Easy Tip for Hanging Student Work in the Classroom!

I LOVE hanging student work! It is so important for our students to feel pride and ownership of their work! My mom used to always hang our work on our refrigerator at home, but since my classroom doesn't have a refrigerator, I had to create my own place to hang "fridge-worthy" work! I don't have much wall space in my current classroom, so I decided to use the middle bulletin boards on my closet ... Read More about Easy Tip for Hanging Student Work in the Classroom!

Organizing and Managing Listening Center

One of my students favorite centers to go to is listening center!! While my students are at their centers they are working on and practicing targeted skills in independence while I work with students in small groups. Time is precious in the classroom and interruptions during small group instruction greatly hinder learning when "small" issues arise at centers. It becomes imperative that for ...
