Tip Tuesday

 
 April showers bring May flowers for sure. In a classroom, April showers bring antsy students! Rain, rain, go away! It's hard to keep kids in all day. Ever feel like this? In my class, I have a rainy day bin. It's a Rubbermaid container that I filled with goodies. It contains games, puzzles, stencils, crafts, etc. It keeps the students occupied during inside recess and excited even for indoor recess. Here's my FREE sign that you can use on your own rainy day bin. Feel free to send me pictures of your own rainy day bins. Email me at mrsdonaldsonhasclass@gmail.com.

Tip Tuesday

When you're helping a student, often multiple hands will raise. This leaves students watching and waiting for you to finish. I made this "I'm Next" sign. I printed it out on colored paper and laminated it. I put numbered cards under. As students need help, they take a number and wait for me to call it. This has eliminated a long line at my desk and restless students in their seats. If you would like to buy my sign and cards, just click here.
