So my awesome Peeps have put me in charge of sharing something meaningful with you this week! My class loves center time so I wanted to share just a little about how we rotate centers. This year I am going to split up my literacy & math centers. So I am only going to share about my literacy center rotation today. I have 8 literacy centers. Each child gets to go to 2 centers for 20 minutes each while I am pulling groups. I try to put a higher student or 2 with a lower student. That way if they need help there is usually someone there to help. Also when I pull groups according to reading levels there are still children in the center. I take their pictures on day 1 and print them to use for center groupings. The pictures are put up with sticky tack. So if we need a group swap it's easy to move them. The centers in the middle are on velcro. That way each morning I take the bottom center off and move all the centers down one spot then the groups get 2 new centers each day. How do you swap your centers around? Click below to go grab my center sign freebies. Don't forget to check back next week for a tip from one of my Peeps!

Guess what? It's the weekend! Two glorious days of sleeping in and lazing about (I wish!). And boy, do I deserve them after the week I have had with my precious treasures. :) The first few weeks of Prep (or Kindergarten if you're not from 'round these parts!) are always tough as the kidlets get used to the routines and rules of school. Throw in a handful of boys with 'tricky' behaviour and you've got yourself a recipe for days that feel like they go on forever... during which you use your 'cranky voice' more than once. This week I found myself using a few behaviour management ideas that are truly 'magic' in a slightly desperate attempt to get things in my classroom back on track. Day-to-day I use the famous 'clip chart', known in my room as the 'peg chart', for kidlets to monitor their behaviours. I use the Monster Manners pack from Growing Kinders as a springboard for moving up (to the pink card - Super Kid!) or down the chart. Seriously, you need this pack! So cute and so effective (also helps that it's free)! I refer to my display daily and the kids get it. Within a day, one of my precious treasures said "You sit criss cross, and that's the bottom of the line!" (If you use this pack, you'll understand!) This year, the clip chart was working for about 90% of the kidlets... and those remaining 10% sure were giving me the run around. Bring in the magic tricks! Trick number 1 is a life lesson, as well as a magic cure for some tricky classroom behaviours. All you need are some dollar store bubbles, and you have some 'Self Control Bubbles'! Take your class outside and sit them in a circle. Explain that you are going to blow some bubbles in their direction, and the first time you do they can pop away as much as they want. Go ahead and let them go wild (within reason... I always tell my kidlets their bottoms must stay on the ground). Make sure everyone gets a heap of bubbles to pop. The second time, explain that you are going to blow more bubbles, but this time they MUST NOT pop a single one... even if it lands right on their nose! Explain that the feeling of really, really wanting to do something, but holding back, is called self control. Ask for a volunteer to go first and choose someone you know will resist the bubbles. Praise them for using self control. Then go around the circle and blow more bubbles at each kidlet (I make sure to get right 'up in their face' so they really, really have to control themselves!) - making sure to encourage all of them to think about how it feels to have self control. As the weeks go on refer back to this activity any time one of your kidlets is struggling with those behaviours that require them to practice more self control. They will be able to recall the feeling, trust me! You might like to repeat the bubble activity a few times during the year - my kidlets LOVE knowing that they are pros at something... and self control ain't a bad thing to be pro at! :) Grab this free pack from my TpT store that will help you use this activity in your classroom. It contains an explanation of how to complete the Self Control Bubbles activity, a label for your bubble bottle, and 3 simple recording sheets. And for my second trick... Quiet Spray! All you need for this is an empty spray bottle. I bought mine from Kmart for less than $2. Fill it with water. My spray bottle wasn't clear, but if it was I would have added a drop of food colouring or some glitter to make it look more 'magic'. I also would have taken time to make sure my label was size-appropriate for my bottle... but you live and learn! :) I added a few drops of rosewater to my Quiet Spray... mostly because I wanted lavender, couldn't find it at the grocery store, but wanted my Quiet Spray to smell calming. Here's how it works: Any time you want your kidlets to work quietly (I used mine today before group work), explain that you will use the Quiet Spray to help them work the best that they can. I ask my class to take a deep breath in through their noses and out through their mouths as I mist Quiet Spray over their heads. MAGIC! You could even use Quiet Spray at the beginning of each day along with some relaxation techniques, or for individual students who need some extra magic in their day. :) There you have it folks, some new magic tricks for you to try with your tricky kidlets. :) Please let me know if they work for you! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend! :) Lauren

Be honest, when was the last time you read the label on your favorite t-shirt or the most comfortable pair of jeans? Probably a while ago, right? And why bother with the clothing tags at all if there's never any funny slogans or amusing wisdom written on them but the bleak washing instructions, right?
Assessment...Easy as 1-2-3 2 comments Assessments, Freebies Let's talk assessments! I'm not talking formal, high stakes, controversial assessments here. I'm talking about the assessments that matter to us teachers. The ones that give us insight into our teaching and student mastery of the standards. While I would much rather teach my heart out and never worry about assessments, I know that it is a valuable component of what we do. But, assessment doesn't have to be complicated! When I teach, I'm constantly assessing. You probably do the same! I'm assessing my students as they interact with the content. I'm also assessing myself. In the middle of a lesson, I might change the entire course of that lesson simply to make sure that the needs of my students are being met. Assessing during instruction can be easy! Here are a few of my favorite "during instruction" assessments: student responses (if their answers and ideas are really off base, I better go back and reteach that concept on the spot) the use of mini whiteboards (they can quickly answer questions and demonstrate understanding of concepts) Think/pair/share Answer paddles You can grab these double sided answer paddle labels for free by clicking {here}. Simply print them on colored paper, cut them out, and glue them to some craft sticks (I glued the word "true" on one side and the word "false" on the other, making them double sided). Sadly, I can't just assess my students on the spot with a cute answer paddle. We live in a world where we are required to take grades, so I also assess class assignments, unit tests, and quizzes. Some of our curriculum works with the Common Core standards so I am able to use many of the tests built into those programs. BUT, my school requires that we take two grades per category each week. So, that means one topic test every two weeks in math isn't always going to cut it. And, as for those CCSS Language standards...we don't have any curriculum for that. So, to make sure I meet those grading requirements, I created some CCSS math, reading, and language assessment packs. Now when I take grades, assessment can still be easy! Easy to prep. Easy to introduce to students. Easy to grade. Just how easy are they to grade? I was able to grade an entire class set of the assessment shown below in not more than five minutes yesterday. Each assessment is just one page long so they aren't overwhelming to the students, and I can correct them with ease. There are also three assessments for each standard, so if I need to reassess, or collect more grades, I can! Or, I can review a skill in a later grading period and take a new grade. #winning Did I mention that they are easy to use? The students always understand what is being asked of them, the layout is clean and easy to read, and the only prep involved is running a set of copies. And, the assessments are varied. I included both free response and multiple choice options, which gives me a clear picture of how much my students know and what they are understanding. I also like how versatile the pages are. On occasion, I have used them with small groups of students when practicing a tough skill. I have also used them during whole group instruction as practice of a newly introduced skill (and then I still have two more pages left to use for grading purposes). DON'T FORGET IT: PIN IT!
