Classroom Management

First of all, Happy New Year everyone! I hope this post finds you enjoying a wonderful 2013. I know it's been a while since I've posted anything, SO I wanted to make it up to you by posting something that I just found that I LOVE! 

The teacher that thought of this is a genius and I am definitely using thins. She put up pictures of commonly asked questions like: "Can we use markers?" "Do we turn this in?" etc. Then she put them on the board with magnets. Then she put check marks next to the questions that are answered with yes, and x's next to the ones answered with no. This way the kids know by looking at this board that they can use markers, talk to their friends, work at their seats, talk to the teacher, and they have to turn it in when they're done.

I think this is a great idea and I can't wait to implement it someday!
