Behavior Pocket Chart and Sporty Font Bulletin Board

Last Monday was the first day I could get in my classroom since June!  The school has been closed all summer to conserve energy.

I created a new behavior chart this year.  I made one for my homeroom, and the two other fourth grade rooms I will be getting for math.  Click here to get the behavior chart signs.
 


 My husband just got a high school mathematics teaching job, and I worked on some bulletin board materials for him this week.  I couldn't use any of my fonts, so I found him a few sports ones.  Click on SPORTY FONTS to get the downloads.  I used:

Small Group Resource Bins






I made a new small group reading rotation chart and a new small group math rotation chart.  I will be using pocket charts to display them.  The reading bins will be great for leveled books and activities.  The math bins will be great for group activities practicing math facts and unit skills.  The bins were a dollar at Walmart.  After laminating the bin signs, I attached them with superglue.  Download the bin signs by clicking here.  I use the large group posters to write the students' names in dry erase marker.  I change groups often, so it works well for me to be able to constantly erase and change the laminated signs.  Download the reading group signs by clicking here.







I also worked on binder clips.  I got 3 packs of 10 at the Dollar Tree. $3!! I printed, laminated, and super glued them.  You can get them by clicking here.




My school has been closed this summer to conserve energy, so I haven't been able to laminate anything.  I bought a laminator at Costco for $20!  I can get a head start laminating the small things!
