Using Seasonal Sticky Notes in the Classroom!

Fern Smith's Classroom Ideas Using Seasonal Sticky Notes in the Classroom for a Working Number Line.
Creating a Daily Classroom Number Line
One of my favorite things to do, is a Morning Meeting at my classroom calendar. Many skills can be tucked into a quick ten minutes in the morning. Seasonal sticky notes are a terrific way to keep track of the number of days we've been at school. Even with the upper elementary grades I loved doing this because as the year rolls on, they have a visual number line, in groups of ten, to help as an anchor chart for multiplication, division, even some intermediate level students still need support with basic addition and subtraction facts....

Directions and Materials:
* 20 - 21 different seasonal sticky note pads, you will need 10 of each type. Ellison die cuts will also work well.
* Pre-cut a strip of ribbon, cash register tape, construction paper, etc. to the length of TEN seasonal sticky notes. About four feet for the store bought sticky notes.
* Place on an empty area next to your calendar. It will grow and fill the space as school progresses.
* Each day write the number for that school day and place on the ribbon. This is also a great job for the class helper. It is always very hot in Florida when we go back in August, so I use some summer themes and then progress to the cute back to school stuff for September, fall for October, etc.
* As each day unfolds you will have created in groups of ten, a working number line for your classroom.

Organizing Your Students' Work for the Week!

Fern Smith's Classroom Ideas organizing your students' work for the week in advance makes a teacher's life easier!
Everything Organized and Ready for the Week
~*~ Summer Fun Rerun ~*~
August 2016 
On Friday, or sometimes even Thursday afternoon, I would slip everything into the folders for next week! It usually took less than five minutes to organize everything and I loved it. It was especially handy when there is a problem at my morning duty station and the students and I would all walk into homeroom late. Having everything there and ready to roll, keep our morning routine on track!
