Teaching Tip of the Day - Best Product Yet

I have been pretty much infatuated with cute fonts, Microsoft Publisher, and Teachers Pay Teachers in the past few weeks.  All my time spent into this obsession has created what I'd like to call my best Teachers Pay Teachers item to date: 10 Eye-Catching, Quality, Graphic Organizer Bundle Pack!

Teaching Tip of the Day - Reward Cards #2

I'm looking out for you.  I know Reward Cards #1 took a little effort on your part if you wanted to use them in your class, BUT I re-vamped it up with better graphics and made it generic for every teacher to use.



Download the zip file from my TpT store for a start to an easy breezy year.

The following reward cards are as follows:
  • Listen to headphones
  • Phone Call Home to Brag
  • Switch Seats for the Day
  • Sit in Comfy Chair for the day (or maybe bring a small pillow if you don't have an extra "comfy" chair)

Teaching Tip of the Day - Book Shelf Organization

I've talked plenty of times about the AR program my school uses for tracking reading progress.  And I've also talked about plenty of ways I get cheap or free books for my classroom library.

Last school year, I used labeled post-its to identify the sections of the book shelf.  Unfortunately, they curled and fell off eventually.  What I did like about them is that they were bright, neon, and visual.  This year I plan on printing business card sized section labels onto neon paper and then having the paper laminated and then the labels cut out and double sided taped to the book shelf.
