Even after 15 years of teaching first grade, we are constantly rethinking our behavior management system. What may have worked last year, doesn't quite pack the same punch this year. Then suddenly, that circa 1999 teaching trick we thought we retired along with our potato sack dresses, works like a charm! Kids are funny that way...Unpredictable, yet totally predictable at the same time. We have found one thing that has stayed pretty predictable over the years... Kids LOVE stickers! and Kids ...

We Will Never Forget…America, the Beautiful Freebie
We Will Never Forget... It's true. Forever and always we believe most of us will wake up on this day remembering exactly where we were. What we were doing. Who we were with.

Though we secretly hope they will pick that treasured souvenir from summer vacay or the family heirloom Great Grandma Betty gave them, they usually pick the one toy they honestly haven't played with in ages...BUT, they MUST share it because at that very moment it is the BEST thing they have EVER seen in the history of ALL things! They have a very hard time ... VIEW POST
Absent Friends Freebie
We can't believe we're thinking about absent students when we haven't even gone back to school yet!!! BUT... this is summertime and we find it's the best time for dumpin' the old and preppin' the new. We just gave our old "Absent Friend Folders" a lil' facelift (they are starting to droop after 10 years and Botox wasn't really an option). Here's How They Work: We keep a set of these folders where our kiddos can access them. If ... VIEW POST
