Find a Friend

Who has a...?

Hello bloggers, I just created a cute twist to scavenger hunts, but with friends!!! I thought it would be a great way to begin talking before my students sit with a partner and interview each other! (I posted my interview in back to school). I hope someone can use it :)

Kipp Kash Management

On my honeymoon, yes it's scary, I created some rules for my Kipp Kash banking system. I tried to think of any potential difficulties we might run into and charted them as banking rules. Also, I listed any way a student can make a deposit or a withdrawal from their bank account. 


I just posted it up in my classroom today (sorry I didn't take a picture!) so it will help everyone have a clear idea of the rules for Kipp Kash management!!

Interview a Partner!

And you are...?

I am still searching for great activities to start the school year off with a BANG! My goal, more than ever, is to get my students feeling comfortable, safe, and loved in their new third grade classroom. I am using this interview to help!

My students sit with a partner. They use that partner for many things throughout the day like math workshop, writing peer conference in writer's workshop, and much more! In order to help them get to know each other, I created an interview to help!!

Check it out!

First Day Interview

Now Hiring!

Classroom Jobs!!

Since I am moving to third grade, classroom jobs are making a huge change too! In first grade, each day I had a boy and girl star helper. It was their job to be the line leaders, take attendance, lunch count, everything!

In third grade, I have created about 15 classroom jobs that will be rotated each week. I wrote the job and their description on a label so I can post it to the pockets I bought at dollar tree. I am using star sticks (like Popsicle sticks from reallygoodstuff) with each student's name on the star to assign. Hopefully, I can take a picture and attach it to the star!! 

Here are my jobs and descriptions! Enjoy :)

Jobs


Here is a really great twist, I am so excited for! Each Friday, while the banker at Kipp Kash is working to see who can afford to pay their way to Fun Friday, students will complete a JOB APPLICATION! Students will want to be hired, because they get paid in Kipp Kash! They need their Kipp Kash to get our Fun Friday time and much more! 

Job Application

What are you doing on the first day of school??

I am looking for some memorable and hands-on activities to try on the first day of school! Like all teachers, my dream is to have the students get off the bus screaming about what fun they had on the first day with their classmates!


What activities are you doing the first days of school!?


I have made 2 scavenger hunts around the classroom. The first is a bit easier, more obvious items to find in the classroom. They will complete this on their own.


Then, they will try the more detailed version with their partner!


Enjoy!
