Clip Chart Behavior Report

Happy New Year!

I am having a 20% off sale in my TpT store on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day!

I created a Roll and Write activity for my students to use during Word Work. I found Jen Ross's (The Teacher's Cauldron) spelling packet and love it, so I wanted an easy to implement game, using the words from the program. 
Jen graciously gave me permission to offer my product on TpT!
Thank you Jen!!!
Here are links to her blog, TpT store and the spelling packet!

Do you use a clip chart?  I am back and forth on my feelings about using it, but with my current class, it works. However, I am not the best at remembering why (when parents call/text/email) students clip down and if they clip down for another teacher, forget it!


Clip chart placement last year. Clip chart placement this year.
I created these reports to give   responsibility to the student.  They fill in the reason, we sign it at the  end of the day, a parent signs it and  they bring it back the next day.
The student receives the paper to fill out after they have clipped down. They keep it on their clipboard in their desk until the end of the day. With some students, I keep them at my desk and have them fill them out with me. Saves it getting lost!

The Gingerbread Man Ran!

While a Gingerbread Man hunt is fun,  it isn't necessarily common core...
SO...
I made a little making predictions  booklet so I can now say, Why yes, this IS a common core activity!

       Click the cover for your freebie!

I am so excited about this product

I just made! I will have our classroom

elf bring one back from the North Pole

 each day of the week, starting Monday.

If you don't have a classroom elf, you

can just have them delivered to your classroom.

Click here to check it out!

There are 5 10 original "newspapers"

included in this packet and I am

working on more. I plan to have 10.

UPDATE!

All 10 are finished and in the product!

I was very excited to find this linky!

I am always looking for new ideas

and love to share mine!

Here are a few pics from last years

visit from our elf! He brought red candy

canes, which the Grinch licked green!

Fortunately, Santa sent new red ones!

Click here for last years post and links 

to some more Gingerbread Man activities!

There are several, including a missing poster

for the Gingerbread Man.

I picked up a couple of these

little guys last year on clearance and 

froze them. Makes things a little

easier! I was making homemade

gingerbread dough and making

my own gingerbread men to run

away each year but this simplifies 

things! We don't eat this Gingerbread

Man. I buy small cookies for the students

to decorate and eat.

I created a couple of new products

to use in my classroom for math early

finishers...or just to take a break and 

have a little extra Christmas fun!

 Click each of the covers to

check them out in my TpT store!

I love teaching inference and the

Disney Pixar short films are a fun

and engaging way to add to our lessons.

I created a few graphic organizers to

go with several of these short films.
