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! :) ***

Click on the picture packs below to pick up your clip chart!!!

And for my friends whoooo are just as obsessed with owls as I am! Here is an owl version!!!

Whooo Loves OWLS? Part 2 :)

So...I have kind of been on an owl kick and I'm trying to come up with as many things that I can to decorate the classroom with these cuties! Since I will be incorporating the AMAZING Daily 5 approach in my classroom next year, I will need some D5 posters, cards, and a title for my chart! I will upload a picture of how I set this up once I can get into my classroom! The 2nd grade rooms in my building are being renovated this summer!!! I am so excited to see my new room bu,t I am also extremely anxious to get my room set up for this much anticipated school year! Once I do get in my room you can be sure that I will be posting a BUNCH of pictures! For now how is the link to the Owl Daily 5 Posters! Click on the link below for your copy!  Enjoy :)

These owl themed Daily 5 posters were designed to be used around the classroom to reference where the Daily 5 stations are located in your room. The small cards can be used in pocket charts to designate which students will be going to the specific stations for that day!

This pack includes 
-6 Posters:
1. Read to Self
2. Read to Someone
3. Listen to Reading
4. Word Work
5. Work on Writing
6. Computers!!

-6 Daily 5 Cards

Small cards for designating centers. I plan to put the students' names underneath the order of centers they will be attending that day.

 I plan to use the large signs around the room to distinguish where each center is around the room. 
This title will be placed at the top of my Daily 5 Center Chart.
Well I hope you enjoy these!!!

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!
