Craft Time

Good news, I officially signed my teaching contract this past week! I am officially a 2nd grade teacher now, and am so very excited! This weekend I have been busy creating things for my classroom and getting it all laminated and cut out. It was exhausting! Here are some of the things I created!

 My bucket fillers chart! I plan to later add a picture of a bucket with each kiddo's name on it for the to add notes into. I really love the bucket fillers idea and can't wait to use it in my classroom.
 This is one of the things I was most excited to make! I love that each child will have their own job. I am going to add a popsicle stick with a monkey attached with each child's name on it, so they can know which job is theirs.
My handy dandy conduct chart! My cooperating teacher during student teaching used something similar and it worked really well, so I duplicated it! :) But of course, added my own touch of animal print. My poor students are either going to love or hate animal print by the end of the school year.. haha!

Each day gets closer to my first day in the classroom and I can't wait to start teaching! 

Let me know if you have any advice for a first year teacher! I'd love to hear it all :)

  1. Patricia, great posters! I did an exit slip chart for my high school students last year, but not all of them had post-its with a sticky side. The envelopes you used would be perfect for those students! Would you be willing to share where you purchased them? Thanks!
