I am a big believer in assigning classroom jobs as it offers multiple benefits for both teachers and students. While many teachers might feel intimidated by applying such a system I always thought that with the proper organization this is actually super-easy to implement. One of my favorite resources to put this system in practice are these FREE Llama Classroom Jobs printables that I created to make this as easy and as smooth as possible. How classroom jobs can benefit both students and teachers If you never tried assigning classroom jobs to your students you might be wondering what are the benefits of such a system? I think the most important one is teaching responsibility from a young age and also team work (because in order for this system to be functional, each student will need to complete their assigned job). It's an easy way to teach responsibility, perseverance, and organization, while also making sure you are able to focus on teaching and not become burnt out by trying to maintain the classroom alone.

Ten Frames will support students in multiple content areas of mathematics. In addition they can help move students from an emergent understanding of joining two groups to a more structured and coordinated process. This will help them learn to better explain addition and also make them open to naturally learning strategies like the 'turnaround' strategy and bridging. Playing games with ten frames makes math so much more fun! My monster themed ten frame addition packet includes 4 activities to help you introduce and/or reinforce addition within ten. Monster Teeth will require students to pin the answer to a problem that they can read as an algorithm and also visualize using the ten frame monster. Add More Monster will require students to draw more teeth to complete the card and find the total. The worksheet packet includes 10 worksheets that will help your students draw and solve addition on a ten frame. Loads of practice will give them time to process the strategies. My Monster's Teeth Mathtivity will allow your creative learners to create and display their understanding of addition on the ten frame. They make the classroom so happy and engaging too! Win-win!

As early childhood teachers, we know how important it is to teach not only academic skills but also those social skills that will last a lifetime! Children who have well-developed social skills tend to do better academically than children who are less socially adept (Lin, Lawrence, and Gorrell 2003). I want to share what I have been using in my classroom to help my students in their social-emotional development...introducing This solution chart supports my students in solving their own problems! In the beginning of the year, I introduced each solution separately by modeling a scenario and how this solution can help resolve a conflict. Eventually, all of the visual reminders went up on this door and when a conflict arose, I encouraged my students to find a solution to their problem. They walked over to the solution chart and chose a solution that made sense in that situation. I provided a lot of support in the beginning of the year in selecting a solution and eventually my students were very good doing this independently. I found this solution chart to be incredibly empowering for my students because they were able to keep the peace by solving their own conflicts and I could spend more time teaching. Win win! Vanderbilt's Center on the Social Emotional Foundations of Early Learning has some fabulous resources for teaching those crucial social-emotional skills. This website has scripted social stories that are great for teaching students how to act and respond in a variety of situations as well as ideas for teaching social-emotional skills through storybook read-alouds, among many other resources. You can find the visual reminders seen above under the Teaching Social Emotional Skills heading on the CSEFEL website. You can grab the header I made [HERE]. I've also compiled some other social-emotional development resources on Pinterest [HERE]. How do you teach social-emotional skills in your classroom?

Have you ever had a student who wants to argue with you about everything? For the purpose of this post, we'll call this student, Debatable Deb, because Deb feels like every topic is up for debate. There are times you swear this student is playing devil's advocate because she argues for the sake of argument. The years that you have one of these students, you go home mentally drained because you are constantly being challenged. Years ago, I did my student teaching in a 3rd grade self-contained gifted classroom. The elementary school had 2,000 students which at the time was the largest in the state. There were 14 - 16 sections of each grade level and two of these sections had only gifted and talented students. These students' lessons were taught at an accelerated pace. My cooperating teacher told me that in a G/T classroom, arguing and debating is very common. She shared a few tips with me that I thought I'd pass along. Tip #1: There are times when you can listen to what the student has to say if it is said in a respectful tone. But, it is also perfectly permissible for the teacher to say "this is not a matter for debate.". You are the leader of the classroom not the student. Tip #2: If you have a student who feels very passionate about some topic or decision, encourage Debatable Deb to write about it. Have your Debatable Deb make a T-chart listing the pros and cons about the topic. This will encourage your student to become more open minded. As a person who was born with a argumentative personality, I can tell you that it is very frustrating when you feel like you don't have an outlet or someone isn't listening to your opinions. Have you ever had a principal who had the management style of "my way or the highway"? Nothing was ever discussed, decisions were handed down like edicts, and you were left feeling like you were merely a worker bee. You didn't necessarily want to argue with your boss about every decision he made, but you wished you had some input before a decision was made that you were required to carry out. Some decisions could be improved if there was input from others. I sometimes think this must be how your Debatable Deb feels when you don't take the time to listen to her opinions or give her an outlet like writing. Granted, not every decision is open for discussion, just like with your principal. But, there are some decisions that could involve more student input. Your Debatable Deb would like to add her input, but hasn't learned the proper way to do this yet. She needs you to give her the tools for sharing meaningful input. A few years ago, my daughter came home from school quite upset with her teacher. She tried to turn in her Pizza Hut Book It form a day late but the teacher wouldn't accept it. The form was due on a Monday. We had been out of town for my grandfather's funeral Thursday - Sunday which was several states away. I had emailed her teacher before we left so she knew why my daughter wasn't in school. My daughter forgot to take her Book It form on Monday. It was hanging on the refrigerator ready to go. Things were a little hectic that Monday morning and she forgot to take it. Her teacher told her that it was due on Monday and since she was at school on Monday she wouldn't accept it on Tuesday. My daughter wanted me to talk to her teacher. But, I felt like this was a matter that should be handled between the two of them. I told her that when she talked to her teacher she needs to remember: TIMING: Timing is everything! Do not ask your teacher about this when she is getting ready to teach a new lesson or at the end of the day when it's a madhouse in the classroom. Timing is key! TONE OF VOICE: Your tone of voice conveys so much. Your tone should be respectful. WORD CHOICE: Your sentence should not begin with the word "you". Wrong choice: You should have accepted my Book It paper because I missed school for 2 days because my grandpa died. A better choice: I was out of town for my grandfather's funeral. We flew home on Sunday evening. I normally pack my backpack the evening before but I was off schedule. I'm sorry. Hopefully this won't happen again. After talking with your teacher, you need to graciously accept whatever her decision is whether you agree with it or not. Although her teacher did not accept her paper after my daughter spoke to her, my daughter wasn't upset. Why? Her teacher took the time to listen to her and her teacher explained her decision. This pin sums up what I think these students are thinking! I asked my Facebook followers for advice when dealing with argumentative students. Here are a few of the tips: *Giving them a designated time to discuss the matter that is not class time such as recess or after school. *Katherine Kelley, who teaches gifted students, tells her students that this is a classroom not a court room so there is no need to argue your case. (I need to remember that line!) *Do not engage! Do not engage! Do not engage! Is some of my followers' mantra. Some even suggest just staring at the student, not saying a word. Eventually the student gets the point. *Having a sense of humor is another tip to try. You can read more on my FB page by looking for the picture of the pin ("I'm not arguing, I'm explaining why I'm right.") above.

This is a resource on the use of "Qu'est-ce que c'est".

I encourage people to buy this because it also includes a lesson on "est-ce que c'est" which takes the "qu'est-ce que c'est" lesson to the next level.
