    I love it! I like the brag tag idea, I've never heard of that before. I also think the motivational wall is a good idea...sometimes we all need a little pick me up !

    I agree with Tracie. We all can benefit from a motivational wall! Especially when the students take part in creating it. I feel that makes them feel that they are part of a community as well as having a part in the learning process. It would be cool when you notice signs of student struggles or undesired behaviors to be able to refer to this wall. Or begin each day picking out a quote and talking about how it can be used for the day. I like the flashlight Friday idea, that is super cool and I feel that the kids would love it. I think that rewarding children with such activities as well as the homework punch card provides a tangible reward for all of their hard work, further motivating them to work harder! Thanks for sharing!

    I really like the brag tags! Like Tracie, I have never heard of that before. I know a few teacher who do the flashlight Friday in their classroom and the kids go crazy for it. I also know that children would love to make things to go on the motivational wall, they enjoy that sort of stuff!

    Brag tags were super cute! I need to find a way to incorporate that into my middle school classroom. (: Also, love the flash light activity. Oh, how I would love some relaxing quiet time at the end of a busy week myself. Thanks for the ideas.

Reflect on the DIBELS activity. Which two areas did you choose to practice scoring? How did you do? Was it easy/difficult? Upload pictures of your score sheets. •I think that all of the DIBELS activities were very informative. I think some were harder than others. The two I choose to do were the Oral Reading Fluency and the Retell. I picked these two because they went hand and hand with each other. I never really thought about how students could describe so much about a story by only reading 60 words but when hearing the student do his retell and listen to him only know one thing about the story all I could think of was about all the other details he got and could have talked about in that short period of reading. This really opened my eyes to all the detail in stories that normally we probably don't even think about or pay attention to.      List two benefits of using Curriculum-Based Measurement (e.g., DIBELS) to monitor stu...

Future Classroom

PART 1: Classroom Layout The classroom that I made would be a 1st-grade classroom. I have placed tables and groups of 4 students at each table. I have a semi-circle roundtable for teacher time group work. I have my desk on the opposite side of the room. My classroom has a rug for the morning meeting and group lessons. It has many different options for the students to use during reading such as the bean bag chairs and the corner meeting area. It has a bathroom in the classroom and has multiple places for storage of the children belonging (jacket, bookbag, etc. and another cubie for there works to go into once complete. My classroom will have a smart board and whiteboard in the room. No computers, the students will have laptops to use if they need to. : PART 2: Rules and Procedures Rules for Miss.
