Kindness and Confetti- Celebrating in the Classroom!

Our building is focusing on Robert Marzano's High Reliability Schools framework. For our level one safe, supportive, and collaborative culture goal, part of what we'll be doing is focusing on how to SUPPORT and CELEBRATE the good stuff! I ABSOLUTELY couldn't resist using bits and pieces of things I could find to create this hallway bulletin board to build a safe, caring culture of support in our kids.

Teacher Toolkit Trend

This year I am moving into a smaller classroom.  To accommodate my smaller desk and save storage space for all things learning, I decided it was time to make a teacher toolkit!  Since I've also acquired a smaller budget (Iowa legislators, I'm looking at YOU), I had to do the smallest, cheapest tool storage container I could find.  Then I splurged for a $3 can of spray paint, found some FREE printable, editable, toolkit labels by Tessa Maguire here, which is good because I have since discovered a staple remover does NOT fit in this size of a toolkit- so will be putting an extra in of whatever supply needs it from my desk.  So, for $15, instant extra storage.  Can't afford to spend $15 on a whim, so really wouldn't have used this trend except for the smaller room and desk.  It's hallway waxing time, so waiting until Tuesday to put it in.  Share your $15 and under storage tips for smaller classrooms in the comments below!  😊
