I have been a teacher 5 years now and I have had to make a LOT of stuff! Again, I don't like to buy it if I can make it! So... I research and browse the internet and here are some of what I came up with. (Some are my own, and some I borrowed from someone else's creative juices!)
This was when I taught Kindergarten. This was my reading nook. The tree was made from half of a carpet roll and an umbrella covered in bulletin board paper leaves. Pretty simple.
This was part of my room.
This wall is where I would display anchor papers or excellent work!
Word wall!
I decorated my door with this track because our school was building a new track that year and we always strive for excellence with technology, higher order thinking, self assessment, etc. My classroom was bees, so here ya go!
Some of the pictures I put up on my standards wall to help students.
I really liked this honeycomb. It was used for AR. We would set A.R. g(along with my help) would set their goal and then after the 4 1/2 weeks came, I would allow them to go circle "Yes" if they met their goal or "No" if they didn't.
Birthday months made out of Beehives.
I used this beehive as a reference for Bloom's Taxonomy. I color coded it to go along with MOST of his charts so that it was easy enough for students in Kindergarten and 1st grade to understand. They knew that by the time we got to the yellow level questions that we all had to put on our "Thinking caps!"
I used these to check my students' hallway behavior. Every time we got a compliment in the hallway for good behavior, being quiet, straight lines etc. I would put up a bee hive and write down the name of the staff member that gave us the compliment. When we earned 20 compliments (I think) we would have a special treat (popcorn party, ice cream sundaes, cupcakes or you get the point.) They loved it! If the principal saw them and gave them a compliment that was automatically 3 BEEHIVES! Boy would they get straight real quick! Also, after we earned our treat I would send candy to the person that gave us a compliment and write a little note that said, "Thanks for helping our class earn __________ by giving us a compliment in the hall." That showed them appreciation and it also made them want to give more compliments! Lol!
This is a bridge Thinking Map.
A tree map that the class and I made together on the first day. I had the labels printed already but they told me what each word meant in their own words and we wrote it down.
Little bee clips I made using yellow pom-pom balls and black pipe cleaners. I used left over lamination to make the wings and glued wiggly eyes on the front.
This is a multi-flow thinking map that showed students a cause and effect of their own behavior. Everyone wanted to stay on green!
This is if you got in trouble once.
This was pretty bad. No one likes being on Red!
A flow map thinking map of our morning procedures!
My autobiography outside my door for parents to see who I am! You can tell I like to scrapbook!
This is too funny! I had this windmill hanger and the windmill part broke. Well I was gonna throw it away until I noticed the hole would fit over the face of my clock. You never know what you can make!
Drawers to keep supplies in in case students run out or need something.
