I SURVIVED the 1st day!

I SURVIVED THE 1st DAY OF SCHOOL!! Yesterday, was my first day back at my new school.  I enjoyed getting to meet my new students.  BTW....I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new faculty and administrators that I work with! They are AMAZING!!! Anyway, I PROMISE that I will have classroom pictures up by the end of next week.  I have been EXTREMELY busy trying to get things ready for the new year at a new school.  I did not go to sleep until after midnight every night last week!
Here are two forms that I use throughout the year.  The first one is my parent contact documentation form.  Also, I have included a student documentation form.  I use this to take anecdotal notes on students during class.  Enjoy! Hope you have a FANTABULOUS first day of school!! 

Parent Contact Documentation


Student Data Sheets

Wowzers!

As you can see, I have been M.I.A. in other words, trying to squeeze in a last minute vacay! We start school Monday...AHHHHHH!!! My room is almost ready, in fact, I am heading up there when the hubs gets home. I will take pictures and upload them before the weekend so be on the look out. I am SUPER pumped how my room has turned out! Anyway, I am now back to blogging. Only 29 more followers until our first giveaway!

Yay! Halfway to 100! & My Dollar Tree Find

When I get 100 followers, I will have a giveaway for a giftcard from this place:

When I was making my usual Dollar Tree rounds the other day, I came across pre-made templates and charts.  Here is what the multiplication one looks like.  I am EXCITED to use it because most of my students have a difficult time remembering their facts.  Have you seen any of these at your Dollar Tree? They also had the skeleton system and parts of a cell {animal & human}. I hope they have more of these.  I think it would be great for students to keep in sheet protectors inside of their notebooks.

This is a close-up of what it looks like. It goes all the way to 15!

Dr. Seuss on IEP's

I received this in an e-mail a few months ago and thought I would re-do it so I could put it on the back of my special education notebook.  I can relate to this more times than not! I hope you enjoy reading it :). Happy FRIDAY!!

Homework Tracker

I have used a "Homework Tracker Log" similar to this one for the past 3 years. In our district, if we assign homework, we must take it for a grade. I found myself going crazy trying to manage paperwork, grading, keeping up with who did their homework for the night, and all of the other crazy things that ventured into my day. I came up a form similar to this one, and have revised it each year. At the end of the week, I would go back and average a homework grade for the week for each student. It also help me to track student trends with not completing their homework.  How do you manage your student's homework?

Behavior Logs

Let's face it, we all have those students who tend to stay in trouble every time you turn around.  When it comes to students with a special education ruling, different laws come into play.  This chart helps to keep a running record of the student's behavior and the disciplinary action that took place.  In addition, my school district has a discipline ladder that students are placed on once they have displayed an inappropriate behavior. Students must maintain good behavior for so many days until they can get off of the ladder.  The higher up the ladder, the longer it takes to get off of it.  This is also a great organizer to help keep up with what ladder the student is on and how many days there have been in between behaviors.

Accommodation Checklist

I have made an accommodation checklist that can be stapled to the top of student's work to inform parents what accommodations their child received.  Some of you all may and probably have a stamp that is similar to this, but I wanted to share with those of you who do not.  Most accommodations listed here are generic. Let me know if you see something that needs to be fixed or if you have something that you think should be added.  ENJOY!
