Classroom Management

I have become so addicted to pinterest. Its so addicting that I use all my spare time on it. Well I came across this video "Whole Brain Teaching or Power teaching"  helps teachers with classroom management skills. Its ideal for new teachers They will have a free videos that  you can watch. They are basically self explanatory and easy to implement. This type of implementation is suitable for K thru college. I thought it was great and it was something different. I planning to implement it the next school year. Here is the website http://www.wholebrainteaching.com/ This is a video I found on You Tube. It basically explains a little of everything that goes along with it. Its has all students engaged. Simply LOVE it. Most of these techniques can be used in dual language classroom. I thought some were great when working with their bilingual pairs. Just a thought and wanted to share.

Restroom Passes

I always had a problem to know who goes to the restroom. I got some letters from Wal-Mart and painted them. My dad made a hole on them so I could tie a ribbon on them. This is how it works: If students want to go to the restroom they are to get the pass and place it on their desk. I ask them not to take it to restroom so it won't get filled with germs. That way we don't all get sick. I only created one for boys and one for girls. I plan to do two. Here is the outcome. Love the ribbon.
