Ketchup Folder

The "Ketchup" Folder

The insanely cute "Ketchup" folder is designed for students to retrieve any missing work they must catch up on if they were absent. This low-cost display will get your kids excited about catching up on work! It also puts less work on you as the teacher because all you have to do is put extra worksheets in the folder. It is the student's responsibility to check the "Ketchup" folder if they were absent the previous day(s). It can be really hard to remember who was absent what days and trying to track these students down and give them the work that they missed can be a challenge. This is an easy solution. Students will love the name of the folder as it is kind of silly. It will get them a little more excited about doing make-up work :) All you need for this display is any old folder you have laying around. You can type up your own display however you like. Be sure to add a big image of a ketchup bottle as a nice visual. Visuals are great to have in the classroom as they help English Learners to navigate the classroom and identify where things are. You might want to place this display in an area where students will see it as they come in the door so they don't forget to check it. Laminating the typed sign would add a nice touch but isn't necessary if you don't have access to a laminator. It is up to you how many days you would like to give your students to return completed work in the folder. If you often change the amount of days, then a great option for you would be to stick this paper into a re-usable dry-erase pocket as pictured below. These can be found on Amazon (link below). These are also GREAT for small group work in any subject. I highly recommend these dry-erase pockets.

Voice Levels

Create your own Voice Level Chart Now I know what you're all thinking. The answer is yes!! These buttons do actually light up! This awesome light up display features different noise/voice levels for students to use during different times of the day. Are your students taking a silent exam? Go ahead and push the "No Voice" button. Are your students doing presentations? Press "Speak Up" to let students know it is okay to use a loud speaking voice so peers can hear them. This is such a great classroom management tool. We all know that students can have a hard time being quiet when we ask them to. As a teacher, it can be a struggle getting your students to stop chatting during a lesson. With this tool students will know exactly what level their voices should be at at all times. The best part is that all you have to do is push a button! If your class is having a hard time even after introducing this display, then you can create consequences for students who do no...

Reward Systems

Reward Systems for Classroom Management This marble management is a great idea for managing behaviors in the classroom. Displaying a "marble jar" like this on the board will motivate students to behave so they can earn a class reward. These images and texts can be printed and laminated and taped to the white board. Super simple! You can decide what your goal amount of marbles is and write it in with dry-erase marker. The great thing about this is you can always change the goal and make it higher as more of a challenge as time goes on. You can also change the reward. Rewards can be anything you choose. Perhaps you could do a pizza party (depending on allergies in your classroom!), movie day, or something as simple as letting students sit with a friend as pictured above. I recommend displaying it somewhere where the kids will constantly see it and be reminded to behave. Another way I did this in the past was having the reward, which in this case happened to be a picnic, sp...

Sub Tubs

Sub Tubs Now I'm not sure about all of you fellow teachers, but I know that personally I started off my teaching career by substitute teaching all over different schools. This was no simple task. I subbed in two different districts. That's about 30 different schools. With each school came different teachers and different styles of teaching. It can get really difficult to come into a new setting each day not knowing the classroom rules, routines, and procedures. Some teachers don't give very detailed plans, either which can be really tough. I remember one time I was subbing in a fifth grade classroom and the teacher didn't know she was going to be absent that day and left me no plans! It was very stressful trying to come up with activities for new students in an unfamiliar classroom. Anyway, one day during my subbing career, I walked into a beautifully decorated third grade classroom. On the teacher's desk I found this bin labeled "Especially for th...
