classroom jobs
By sharon in ca

Clip to ScrapBook   
I also teach 4th grade and having assigned classroom jobs saves me lots of time and gives the students a feeling of responsibility and being part of the classroom community. I always have 32 to 34 students and change jobs
weekly to make sure everyone gets a chance to do everything. I there is an absence, the previous monitor handles the job. I have a wall chart with the list of jobs which is laminated. That way I can easily erase the name/number each week (my students have assigned numbers) Here is a list of what I use:
T.A. (Teacher's assistant - basically my
errand for the week!)
Secretary - passes out and collects papers
Census Taker - Takes roll on the computer
Food Service - Lunch count
Neatniks (2)- Keeps the backpack area
and bookshelves straightened
Math Tutors (2) - We help out with centers
in a 1st grade classroom
Landscaper - Waters the plants
Zookeeper - Feeds the animals
Sequencer - Puts papers in numerical order
after they are collected
Filer - Helps a parent with putting notes
and papers in our weekly "go home"
folders

I hope that this gives you some more ideas - these have worked well for me.
