Ten Pin Linky Week Two: Classroom Management

I was overwhelmed with the awesome response last week to the Ten Pin Linky Party.  I got so many great ideas, discovered lots of awesome blogs and found many new pinners to follow.  I hope you did, too!

This week's theme is Classroom Management!

Here are my top 10 Pins for Classroom Management Ideas:

1.  I love Miss Kindergarten's creative classroom management idea for the end of the year.  I think this would be a fun whole-class concept to use each month, with a different seasonal theme each time.  Kids seem to enjoy changing things up, ya know?

2.  I'm definitely having a homework club this year!  I love the thought of motivating students to complete their homework each night, especially if we as teachers make sure homework is meaningful and purposeful!

3.  How cute is Mrs. Hereen's "I'm Done" board?  I recently discovered her blog through pinterest, and it's a TREASURE TROVE of ideas.  Y'all must go check it out!  Anywho, I love how she displayed options for her fast finishers to complete.  And I'm all about bunting!

4.  Another homework idea I loved comes from Mrs. Curry's class.  How great to celebrate your homework completion with a huge hallway sign.  I think this would spark some friendly competition between classes and inspire kids to complete their homework.

5.  I'm definitely implementing a Tattle Telephone this year.  I had one little friend who LOVED to tattle last year.  I plan to read Tattle Tongue this year and do a much better job brainstorming when it's tattling and when it's telling.  Download a free "Tattle Telephone" sign {HERE!}

6.  This Brain Breaks freebie is an awesome resource for any room.  I'd let the leader roll the die to see what break we would take!

7.  Do you tell your students "Give Me Five!" like I do?  I love this freebie to display in the classroom as a reminder of what Give me Five means.

8.  I start the year with this Bucket Filler Brigade packet I have listed on TPT.  I love building a community of bucket fillers and the kids constantly remind one another that they are bucket fillers and not bucket dippers.

9.  Another idea (and FREEBIE) from Mrs. Hereen:  Cookie Compliments and Brownie Points.  This is a great whole class reward.  I love encouraging the class to work together as a team to show great behavior.  I already have this printed and ready to go for the Fall!

10.  I love Teri's use of a prize box and a prize catalog for her kiddos.  We as teachers use candy as a reward far too often.  I love the move toward other rewards and privileges, and I love the ownership students get in choosing their reward.  Teri (A Cupcake for the Teacher) has some great freebies related to this plan if you click on this pin!
