You've given up the behavior chart. Now what do you do to keep the classroom running smoothly and behavior in check? Here are solutions and ideas!

Early finishers need activities so you are not scrambling to find something meaningful for students to work on when they complete work.

In this activity children will create feelings faces to explore different feelings to build their emotional intelligence... Did you know that including social emotional learning activities when teaching can lead to better academic performance? For so long, schools focused only on teaching academics, but with more and more research, people are understanding the value in

If anyone reads this, you know that I changed schools in April. I'm permanent! Yay! I moved to a very new building; the school opened in April 2011, so you'll see that everything looks very fresh and bright and new. I thought I'd post some photos of my new classroom. Hopefully in August/September I will post my setting up process when I "start from scratch." This is what you see when you first walk into the class. Yes, those are lovely big windows along the back wall. Looking into the class on the right, we have our meeting area with the SMARTboard. I also have two of these portable double sided whiteboards. They are FAB. I've since moved this one so that I have easier access to the cupboards behind it, and so there is more room for the children to sit on the floor. This is our computer area. These are all connected to the internet. The laptop on the far right is mine that connects to the SMARTboard. My school is open plan. All the walls between classrooms and out to the corridor can be opened up. The walls to the corridor all must be open (which took me all of a day to get used to), but the walls between each class are closed in the Senior wing. I've put borders up on the wall that divides my classroom to the one next door so that it can still open when we need it to (like for our Science Fair this week). I have a tiny wee book corner as there isn't much room for anything more, but the kids seem to like it. And yes, that's a sky-light in the next photo! I have a remote control that opens it up to let in some fresh air. It also automatically detects rain and closes on it own (a great feature to have in Scotland!). These tray shelves are brilliant. Each child has their own tray labelled with their name. In them, they keep unfinished work, personal whiteboards/pens, homework diaries, and reading books. The extra ones are used by me to store spelling resources, extra whiteboards/pens, writing resources, etc. The other photo is VERY important for the smooth running of my classroom. Children know to look to the "I'm Done" board when they are finished their tasks so they know what to do next. These photos depict my Behaviour Birds clip chart. The children each have their own peg with their name. They start on "Perfect Peacock" and move up or down depending on their behaviour. You can buy your own in my TpT store. My kids love this! As a class, there is always something they need to work harder at. Right now, it's being a quality audience. If they show that they are working towards mastering this skill, they get to add a piece to Mr. Potato Head. When he's finished, they get 5 extra minutes of play time. On one of my whiteboards, I have 3 folders for handing in any work that is not written in a jotter. Kids have to think about how they did on their task as they hand it in. Work completed in jotters already has self assessment forms stuck in them. That's the tour for now. As I add things to the new room I'll add more photos. Do you have a classroom tour on your blog? I'd love to see!

Updated February 26, 2023 - Tracker is now compatible for up to 25 Lessons. Make a copy before using per Unit, or go to your purchases and re-download. Welcome to do the Pie/Doughnut Chart Formative Assessment Mastery Tracker! Check out the VIDEO CLIPS to this resource!   VIDEO 1  VIDEO 2 VIDEO 3 VIDEO 4 (*compilation video) This is a Pie/Doughnut Chart Formative Assessment Mastery Tracker with drop down menu options, very similar to my Standards Based Mastery Tracker. However, this tracker really focuses on tracking and monitoring student progress on formative assessments for each lesson. This tracker can be used to assess skills aligned to the learning target derived from the content standard. This tracker can be used for ANY subject and ANY grade. Like so many of my other trackers, it is very visual and it saves you so much time especially if you are using a mobile device like an iPad or Surface as you are tracking students! You can see both class and student progress towards mastery at a snapshot! It is also very easy to use. I have done all of the hard parts for you--all of the formulas, coding and formatting is completed and nothing you need to worry about. Just enter in your data using the dropdown menus, and watch the cells change colors and the pie/doughnut graphs will calculate immediately! This new tracker also includes the checkboxes to automatically check and the number of students who have reached mastery also automatically populate. I am excited for the ways this tracker will gather data. It is a game changer! I highly recommend that you use this product with an iPad or Surface to get the full effect of the simplicity, quickness and efficiency it provides. Please note, this tracker must be used on Google Sheets. Please make sure you have a Google Drive Account. If you have a gmail account, then you have access to Google Drive! Please note, if you try to use the spreadsheet outside of Google Sheets for example, on Microsoft Excel, the formatted cells will not be displayed or function correctly. You may also lose the coding and formulas to put the spreadsheet together. All of the directions for how to use this tracker are in the spreadsheet on the first tab. When you download this file, you will notice three tabs. The first one is a page full of directions. Read them carefully. There are rows and columns on the Google sheet that you must not touch. Those rows calculate your data for you. The rest of the directions will help you understand how to set up your own tracker. It is a very quick process. The second tab shows you an example of my own tracker for a Unit.a. The third tab is a blank tracker that is already formatted and ready to go! MAKE A COPY of the Mastery Copy first! Then, all you need to do is start tracking and entering in data! This tracker has taken a long time to create! I hope you enjoy this resource as much as I do! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me! Check out my other digital tracker used for tracking formative assessments.  Let’s connect!
