Ahh what a day! I don't think there is any feeling comparable to walking into a classroom that is absolutely empty, and in a few magical weeks, transforming into a space to inspire young minds! It may be one of my favorite parts of the job. Today, I created a goals bulletin board. I half got this idea off Pinterest/ half tweaked it to fit my class' needs. We have daily classroom meetings in room 10! I love this. It brings us together and lets the students know they are a part of a team! I created this board to remind my friends what goals we have set for the week, the day, and even the month! I love that this board isn't limited to just curriculum. I can already imagine using this board to set goals for teamwork, behavior, and even longer term goals. My brain is full of ideas! I plan on using it like the following example: Today we will: complete our study guide for chapter 7 of math. So we can: ace our math exam on Friday! We will know we have it when: we can show off our smarts in the review game! * Note: I changed the last portion from the idea on Pinterest from "I" to "we". This is a personal preference only because we will be using it as a classroom set of goals. Although this board is simple, I love its functionality! I'm getting that back to school excitement! Continue to inspire <3
