The Crazy Pre-K Classroom

Hello All, I have finally finished putting together my Jungle Theme Behavior Chart. I am so excited to use this in my classroom this year. Since I cannot get into my classroom for another 2 weeks I decided to hang it from my curtain rod for the pictures. The system works like this: Each child starts everyday on Happy Hippopotamus, this is acceptable behavior for the classroom. The child can then move up or down from there depending on their behavior choices. I have included the list of acceptable/unacceptable behaviors that I intend to give to my families as well as a full explaination of how I intend to use this chart. I give several ways to assemble this chart in the packet using magnets, ribbon and/or laminating. I chose to use page protectors and binder clips for my classroom. I chose the page protectors so that I could store the small reinforcer graphics for rewards inside the chart. I punched both sides of each card inside the page protector with ...

Hello Everyone, I am so excited to show you my newest unit I have been working on perfecting this unit with new ideas and some old favorites.

I have a shelf outside of my classroom for lunchboxes and sign in sheets. I decided for Valentines day to put a bulletin board set on the wall above with mavelous tape. Each of the hearts has one f the fruits of the spirits on it (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faith and self-control from Galations in the Bible) if you are a secular school you could put the name of your students on the hearts instead. I think this set is from Carson Dellosa. Also on my table is a cereal box covered with board paper and labeled love notes. There are markers and paper hearts there for the parents to write their kiddos a little love note. Then I read a few each day in class until Valentines Day.
