Use table trash buckets!
I have a table trash bucket on each table. I bought the one pictured from Dollar Tree – it was a 2-pack. We recycle at my school so I teach the students to put all of their paper trash in there and to empty it in our recycling bin when it’s full (or I have students who arrive early do it for each table). It’s so much easier to have them clean up their scraps and put it in the bucket than to walk it across the room to the recycling/trash can! |

Buy your own Scotch laminator at amazon for your classroom.
Yes, definitely!! I have one at home and one at school!
Put things away after you use them instead of letting them pile up!
I'm soooo guilty of letting things pile up!!! I really want to be better with that this year.
make extras of everything for when you get a new kid
Such a great tip!
I use my Promethean ActiveBoard & its accompanying tools CONSTANTLY with my 1st- & 2nd-grade combined class of special ed kiddos, always using interactive games & morning meeting activities. It's fun for them & keeps them engaged. I'm also teaching THEM to "run the board" for morning meeting. They LOVE it & feel so proud of themselves!
That's wonderful!!! I bet they love being able to lead the morning meeting on the interactive board!
Join Naeir for cheap supplies.
Great tip! Just got my first order last week!!
I zip tie my desks so they stay in the spot I set them in!
Smart!!
I love using brag tags! Great motivator~!
Yes!!! Love brag tags 🙂 🙂
Be flexible so when things don't go as planned it will be okay.
Great tip!
Be flexible!
Definitely!!!!!
This year I'm writing a tomorrow to-do list at the end of the day before I walk out the door. Not only does this help me remember what needs to get done the next day (imagine that!) but it also helps me leave at a reasonable time of day as I am not running around trying to do all of those "It'll only take one more minute" things that manage to turn into 15-20 minutes. Sometimes it is ok to leave things until tomorrow.
This is such a great tip and idea!! I'll have to try it! I do my best to leave at a decent time and not stay late except for maybe once a week to get all my planning done. This idea could definitely work to keep me on track!
Keep a positive attitude!
Agreed!!! 🙂 🙂
chocolate is a must
You know I agree with that one!!
Get plenty of sleep!
Sleep? What's that??!! 😉
Have "New Student" bags ready to go for a new student that pops onto your roster!
This is always a good idea!!
Love the Alphabet watches 🙂 I could "bling" my kiddos with alpha watches and hats!
Love it!
Make connections with your students! It will set you up for a successful year!! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
So true! Hope you have a successful year! 🙂
Take time for self.
Yes, yes, yes!!! This is a must do!
