The Worry Rock is a tool to use in the classroom for kids who have concerns or anxiety. The idea is that the students will share their worries with the Worry Rock and by voicing their concerns, the Worry Rock will take the students’ worries away. Whenever a child is feeling worried, they can go over to the Worry Rock, hold it, and share. Place the Worry Rock in a quiet corner so that the students feel comfortable approaching that area to voice their concerns. Use the attached sheets to help students through the verbalizing process. They can read the poem or just start to speak to the rock. 

This pack includes:
-Worry Rock Poem
-Worry Rock Instructions
-Worry Rock tent/sign

Primary Word Wall

As we are quickly approaching August, I have noticed that many teachers are starting to think about resources they need in their classrooms. Word Walls have seem to be a popular product and if you have been following me, you will know that I developed word walls for kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade. By request, I have put together a "Primary Word Wall" that encompasses the first 300 Fry sight words, 6 bright word wall titles, and letter cards. Click on the pictures to hop on over to my tpt store to check out the product!

What type of management system do you use?

This past year I used the clip chart to help with classroom management. I have seen that this is a popular strategy and I was wondering what other management systems work for you and your class? If you are a teacher that has found the clip chart to be effective, here are two clip charts that you can download at my TPT store!

***Oh and for those of you who tried to visit TPT today, they are updating their site, so it was not accessible until the evening! Don't worry if you were unable to get on today its back up and running! :) ***

Am I Sick or Feeling Bad?

This product was created to help students take a moment and reflect on how they are feeling. Sometimes kiddos are nervous about speaking in front of others or are worried about upcoming assessments. As a result, some of our students end up going to the nurse when they simply need some one on one reassurance from the teacher or guidance counselor.

This tool is wonderful to help pinpoint how we can help students and figure out if they need our attention, or if they need to go to the nurse. Click the link below to grab a copy of this reflective form!
