Gift Card and classroom resources from over 30 teacher authors. Good luck!
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT!
Research states that positive
reinforcement will yield a faster and better result than consequences! That is
great but, if you are anything like me you spend WAY too much on your classroom
yearly and you don't want to be buying little trinkets and rewards! So I created
55 different rewards that are FREE for your students to choose from!
If you are interested in getting a copy of these amazing rewards click here or on any of the above pictures!
You will actually be receiving 75
reward coupons as I made sure to include different genders, ethnicity and
special needs!
They come in color as well as black
and white!
I created these reward coupons to go
along with a school who was implementing PBIS. Instead of spending millions on ink
I decided to create the black and white version and print them on colored
paper!

CLASSROOM ORGANIZATION!
TRAVELING TEACHER TIP
I
travel from school to school in my current job and to make my life easier I
purchased a thirty one organizer and a binder for each school!
In
the side pockets will be visuals, computer cords, etc! So now all I need to do
is go to my trunk and grab when I will need at each school!! I will than
quickly and promptly place EVERYTHING back in this one spot to save my car from
looking like a tornado went through it! Here's to hoping I can make it
work!
INDIVIDUAL
CRAYON BOXES
Individual crayon boxes have been a
wonderful thing in my classrooms! Each student gets a set of crayons (they fit
up to 24 crayons) and they can do what they want to their crayons. No more
crying because someone broke the blue crayon, etc. If it's broke it's theirs
until I decide to replace all the crayons (usually halfway through the year).
This also gives students some accountability and they take pride in THEIR
crayons! You can get a pack of two at any Dollar Tree!
Also
great to put decks of cards or game pieces in!
STORING
WORK JOBS OR CENTER ACTIVITIES
I
used to throw everything for winter, fall and spring into LARGE totes and never
could remember what I had! This year I got smaller totes and organized my
centers and/or work jobs into different categories!
As you can see I had work job materials,
winter work jobs, fall work jobs, spring work jobs, matching tasks, work jobs
for anytime of the year. If you are a special education teacher and don't know
about work jobs check out my original post
as it is the best thing I have ever done to teach my students independence!
This will take you to the next hop!
