Classroom Photos! Who doesn't love a peek in someone else's room?!

How I'm currently using "Currently in the classroom" For the resource click here.
Toolbox for the kiddos.
Games/Rewards/ Incentives where I can see them at all times and not forget about them! My favorite back-to-school shopping is the birthday aisle at Michael's- themed boxes and tokens for table competitions!
Cheap shelves from Walmart made the perfect table dividers, space savers, and extra storage.
A little spray paint on clear boxes for organized supplies and free boxes from the post office for student mailboxes!
Organized exit slip boxes for each class period, and a display of the day's question make this an easy part of our class period. Check out 25 exit slips here!
Controlling the noise...
Splitting the board with electrical tape is an organizational life saver!

New strategy for word work.
