a few tips I have found helpful
By Gloria

Clip to ScrapBook   
1. I do have students put their # of their papers. It helps me to figure out who forgot their name and # when I have no name papers. If they forget their name and # I subtract 10 points for my effort.

2. I give out
behavior bucks for my treasure chest. Once a month, they get to go into the S**** Shoppe and shop for what they want. I use a 3 strikes and your out system.

strike 1 is a warning (green)
srtike 2 is a cansequence (yellow) lose your behavior buck for the day
strike 3 and your our. (red) you owe me today's behavior buck and 1 more and you also get a behavior slip sent home.

3. I use a large poster paper and put library type envelopes with each students # on them. I use a card system for where they are going since they go in and out so much for the day.

a few examples of cards girls restroom/boys restroom/girl drink/ boy drink/ band/ title/resource/ counselor/office/errand, etc. Each child put the card in the slot where they are going so that I can keep trak of them all.

4. I use a piece of cardboard for my seating chart. I put each child's name on a post it note. I can easily change seats without much effort. I place the chart in a transparent sleeve for protection. I also copy this so I know where Johnny sat last month.

5. I teach 5 grade. I have my class then I teach another teachers class spelling and the other 5th grade class English so I see 3 sets of students each day. To make it easier for me.

My class 5S is written in black
5H is written in green
5W is written in red

I use corresponding folder colors to keep the classes separate as well. I also only use one seating chart. On each post it I have all three classes listed on one post it. So all # 4 students sit in the sat desk each month.

6. I use the signal I say crystal they say clear. They know when I say crystal they need to stop what they are doing and listen. This works if I have 19 at a time or all 58 together.

These are just a few of my tips
