I love how The Inspired Apple does her classroom management. So I definitely will be doing a similar classroom manage system. I'm thinking about glitter cardstock or cardboard to make a sturdy version. I will definitely laminate (I have a laminator at home)!
There are many other things that I have found for behavior folders, word walls,etc. Seriously, Pinterest and Google are the best things that have every been created! I seriously think pinning should be professional development. IF this was the case, I am well over my professional development hours.
The other thing that I really like to incorporate into my classroom is music. I am all about using music for transitions in my classroom. It saves my voice from having to repeat certain transition expectations. Plus, it is a really good way to let them get the wiggles out while doing other tasks simultaneously. So when I was thinking of songs, I quickly realized that a lot of rock 'n roll songs are not appropriate for the elementary classroom. Therefore, I dug deep and made a decision. Why not stroll back and do some classics and oldies that have the rock 'n roll/soda shop feel? This is when I got really excited. I love oldies but goodies. I have come up with some songs and their functions. There are some that I'm not sure what I should do with yet, but I am determined. This is what I have compiled for my rock 'n roll classroom playlist so far:
1. Rockin Robin- Jackson 5
2. La Bamba- Ritchie Valens (line up song)
3.Yakety Yak- The Coasters (clean up song)
4.Lollipop- (lunch song)
5. purple people eater (fun song for Halloween)
6. rock around the clock
7. Name Game (brain break)
8. Wipeout- (switch centers song)
9. Abc
10. The Twist (brain break song)
11. The Lion Sleeps Tonight
12. Old Time Rock and Roll
13. Stand By Me- (goodbye song)
14. I'll Be There- (Good morning Song)
I hope that these ideas inspire you to shake up things in your classroom. Happy Planning!
