8/29/10  This is a diagram I created to give others an idea of how Mrs. DeRight has her classroom lain out. It's amazing how important the design of the learning environment can be for for classroom management - it should be warm, inviting, and motivating - just like you see here!

10/30/10  I really liked this teacher's take on the typical classroom management bulletin board. What a great way to add to the print- and language-rich classroom environment, help reinforce student understanding of feelings and emotion, and keep everyone - students, paraprofessionals, and the teacher alike - informed of what is expected of us and held accountable for our conduct. The teacher also adds another element of accountability by adding a sign-off sheet (below) to students' take home folders.

Lots of friends and family will be in attendance, so our songs must be just right! We will be singing "I'm a Little Turkey," "I am Thankful," and "The Turkey on the Farm."
