When you walk in and look immediately to the right, the kids are asked to make their lunch choice.
I did my lunch choice a bit different last year, where I had a dry erase area that listed the choices. This year, I printed out the menu and placed on the door. The kids read it, then move their numbered popsicle stick to the appropriate magnetic bin.
To see how I managed lunch choice last year click {HERE}

I WON the missing part bin from another seller!
(If anybody recognizes this can you send me an email so I can give credit!)
In order for my kids to use the restroom they must scan a QR code to sign out.

If you look to the right when you walk in, you will find my library passes, kindness links, sharpeners, and mailboxes.
My school participates in Rachel’s challenge so I keep a bin for blank links and completed links.

This is my Whole Brain Teaching Super Improver Wall.
I teach 3rd grade and wanted something I could keep my kids accountable for showing their work on math quizzes/tests and citing text evidence for reading.
Every time my kids show all their work in Math or find text evidence on all reading questions, they can put a sticker on the star and will move up the levels as they fill up the card!
I will pay them for moving up a level so they can spend in our class store.

My Theme board is a new addition this year!
I made cards for the main themes in literature and placed them on the board.
As we read books throughout the year, we will generate a theme for the book and place in the appropriate spot.
I am using these dry erase sentence strips for the board!
They are AMAZING and I LOVE that I can re-use them!
As a class, we will write out a more detailed theme since a them is more than just one word.
We have been writing them on sticky notes and will place next to the book!

    Do you have a list you work from to choose the books to read for theme? I used to have one and can't find it.
