HELLOOOOO blogsters!  So we are starting to end up our school year and our first graduating class is counting down their days, tear tear!  I am sad to see them leave but excited to watch them bloom.  I am starting to brainstorm on classroom organization for next year.  So please share your ideas so I might steal one (or more) of them.  I am excited to start working on ideas for next year!

Animal Farm

So any teachers out there that has any funky ideas for novels in the classroom?  I am creating a novel unit for Animal Farm by George Orwell and it got me to thinking "what are some cool ideas that I haven't used?"  I would love to get your imput.  Leave comments let me know.

Teacher Binder

So I saw this thing floating around on Pinterest and thought it was a crafty idea.  I decided to make me one.  I did collaborate with like 4 different websites to make mine just the way I want it, but I think I go it down.  Thanks to Tales of a Teacherista, Ladybug's Teacher Files, Kindergarten Works, and finally Teaching, it keeps life fun.  Without these, I don't think my project would have turned out as cute as it did.  Thanks ladies for all the great ideas!  So here is what it looks like!

 Here I am placing my schedule, substitute plans, and office referrals.

 I have two sets of plans, one the post-it and then my formal.  I will be placing both in the binder.

 I will be putting the standards here, I just haven't copied them.  Of course they will have to match the them going!

 Thanks to Jenn over at Teaching, it keeps life fun for giving the template.  I did however tweek it for my needs since I teach high school.

These are my tabs.  I haven't put them on yet because I will be getting them laminated tomorrow at school.  This is to make them sturdy.

P.S. I did add a section.  Class Information.  I also have tabs for each class I teach so I can put due dates for class assignments or projects in one location.

Please share your ideas or if you created a binder lets see it!  Love to hear about it.  Have a great week!

Post-it lesson planner

So I have been working on a template for a post it planner.  I have it down and I am excited.  Here are some pics and I will post the document for it as soon as I figure out how to.  If anyone knows how, let me know!
