Just Some Things We've Been Working On!

I just thought I would take a minute and post some things we have been pinning/working on this summer for next year. We are spending time in our classrooms re-organizing and trying to add consistency throughout our rooms. A teacher's work is never done!  Once we get a little closer to the beginning of school we will post important dates and information, but here is a little sneak peak of some things we have planned.  
An interactive bulletin board with hooks.
This is a new way to display work, and it  creates a portfolio of exemplary work!  Thanks  Alycia Zimmerman for the idea!

The Apprentice from Staples
I am totally splurging and getting one of these babies,  We are getting organized!
Making the Most of Small Groups by Debbie Diller
This has been my summer reading this year. I can't wait to get started using some of her wonderful techniques in my small group.  What a great resource!
"Teacher Cards" -- instead of using a prize box this is a deck of cards filled with rewards that students can enjoy in the classroom. (and they're FREE!!)
Teacher cards to replace/add to treasure box,  Thanks Kristen Smith!
