Classroom Management Forms


Yesterday I posted my new Classroom Management Forms pack, which contains all of the forms I use in my classroom to keep things running smoothly and organized. The newest item in that pack is the While You Were Out cover and table, which I decided to have bound in a spiral at Office Depot last night. It was ready to pick up this morning, and I was so excited to go and get it! (I'm a sucker for anything that is bound in a spiral, but these could easily be printed at your school or home and hole punched for a binder).
I chose to have the front cover printed in color and laminated, which was an extra $1.50

I created a document with 130 pages of the While You Were out table, and the cover. 

This gives me enough pages in case I make some insane mistake, and allows for enough room for my 5 preps! (I will be combining some of them onto the same page for this spiral).

My back cover is the 65# Brights, and chose the Cosmic Blue, laminated as well. I also picked the white coil.


Grand total? $21.16, plus 25% off, so $15.87 total! For me, it's totally worth it to have everything in spot, and looking nice and neat!

Here's a mock up I did today just to show you how it works! I am loving this layout, and I felt like I had more than enough room to put all the information I needed to. 


Students can see exactly what they missed, and then I often post more details on my weebly page or echalk page for students to see. Next year, I'll be linking my One Note notebook, where I put my detailed agenda that I project daily to save myself a little bit of time!

Luckily for me I heard a colleague of mine talking about this company, I got interested although i was scared of being scammed, I was compelled by my situation and had no choice than to seek advise from my friend regarding this very company and was given their contact number, getting intouch with them really made me skeptical due to my past experience with online lenders, little did i know this very Company "PROGRESSIVE LOAN INC. was a godsent to me and my family and the entire Internet World, this company has been of great help to me and some of my colleague and today am a proud owner of well organized business and responsibilities are well handled all thanks to Josef Lewis of (progresiveloan@yahoo.com).. So if really you are genuinely in need of a loan either to expand or start up your own business or in any form of financial difficulty, i advise you give Mr Josef Lewis of Progressive loan the opportunity of financial upliftment in your life Email: progresiveloan@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +1(603) 786-7565 and not fall victim of online scam in the name of getting a loan. thanks

  25. I was twice a victim of a cryptocurrency scam lead by romance trying to find the right partner.I needed my credit cleaned so I can get a place to live with my family. I had repos, late payments, bankruptcy, judgments was filed and I needed someone to help me without scamming me because it was my family I wanted the housing for.such as hacking emails, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, note changes, deleting criminal records, credit and debit refill, reloading insurance documents, lost or lost file recovery, background check . I decided to narrow my search to a trusted credit site , luckily for me, I found several good reviews on ARON LUCS a trusted credit repair specialist. I contacted him on;ARONLUCSHACKCOMPANY AT GMAIL.COM wHATTS APP +1‪9014683874 and after discussing the process, we got started. He raised my score from 456 to 760 , posted good tradelines on my report, deleted the bankruptcy and the judgments and increased my credit line to $60k. All late payments appeared as on time payment and he effected the changes across all 3 credit bureaus. His job is legit and untraceable.I can’t thank him enough and I knew i owe him this.

  33. Good day, my Croatian people, my inquiry about how to get a loan to buy a house from real estate started with a call, I called Davidson Albert Company Company, today I am very happy and God bless Davidson Albert Contact e-mail: {Davidsonalbertloan@gmail. com}

      My name is Marijana, I'm from CROATIA, for the last five months I've been looking for the right credit company from which I could get a loan so I could buy the house I wanted. In the long run, there were a bunch of scams that made me believe them and at the end of the day they took my money without giving me anything in return, not even 1 euro to my name, I lost all hope, I was confused and frustrated, I never wanted to have anything with online loan companies so I went to borrow money from a friend. I told everything that happened and she said that she can help me find a loan company that can give me any amount of loan that I need and at a very low interest rate of 3%, she also told me that she just got a loan from them, referred me how to apply for a loan just like she told me, I applied with them via email: (davidsonalbertloan@gmail.com) , I never believed , but I tried, and to my biggest surprise I got a loan within 24 hours, I couldn't believe it, I'm happy and rich again and thank God that such loan companies still exist on these scams everywhere, advise everyone who needs to borrow a loan by email (davidsonalbertloan@gmail.com). They will never let you down and your life will change just like mine. Quickly contact (davidsonalbertloan@gmail.com) today and get your loan from them. Be sure to contact DAVIDSON ALBERT LOAN COMPANY for your loan, because I successfully got my loan from this company without any stress. Visit their email. (davidsonalbertloan@gmail.com)

Before the School Year Begins...

I decided that before I can start posting about what I'm doing this year, I needed to share some of my favorite strategies from last year that went really well with the students. I was completely inspired by Kelly Gallagher after reading devouring all of his books at the beginning of the school year! I had the opportunity to go to a Kelly Gallagher workshop at Judson this spring, and it was absolutely amazing! He was so nice when I went up to him (I was terrified and starstruck), and even wrote "You're Welcome" on this piece of paper, because my students actually asked me to THANK HIM for changing the way we read novels in class.  Students + asked me + to say thank you to an author + about school stuff = UTOPIA! Here are some of my abbreviated notes from the day: His TOP Points: Kids should write 4X more than you can physically grade  Students suffer from word poverty. Must get students reading more in order to be exposed to vocabulary. We ne
