1st Day Setup




At the beginning of each quarter I have my kids fill out this Student Information/Behavior Contract. I then keep them in a binder where I have them organized according to grade and day. If I have any behavior issues; I document it on the right hand side of this sheet. I also attach apologies, emails and referrals to this sheet. It works great when documentation is needed on a student.


When a student enters my room on the first few days I do not have a seating chart for them so I give them a card with an art image on it. They then go match that image to one on the table and that is where they sit. This allows me to see what students can sit next to each other and allows me to try some new seating combinations before finalizing a seating chart. This year I have gone with Keith Haring pictures because it goes with my classroom theme.




Each student gets one pencil from me. I label the pencil with a number. The number that I put on each pencil goes to a tote tray that is also numbered. I have three cupboards with tote trays. There are 171 trays total. I label the pencils so that they know what tray they have and also if they forget to put it away I can see that it gets back in there.
