Oh the Joy of Bathroom Passes!

We all know that kids think they need to use the restroom at least 20 times a day! And then we all hope that they washed their hands, right. Well, problem solved. Bathroom passes on hand sanitizer. We have the kids put the sanitizer on their desk when they leave the room and then return it to its designated area when they come back. We only have 1 pass for girls and 1 for boys, that way we know where our kids are. It works great and then we know our kids have clean hands.

First Day of School Activity

“NO David!!” By: David Shannon

This is an activity we used the first day of school. This is a great way to introduce rules and expectations. We started by reading any of the David books and jotting down ways David was getting into trouble in his classroom. Then, as a class, we turned all of those behaviors into positive classroom rules. After we brainstormed those ideas, all of the kids got a chance to create their own David characters and wrote a classroom rule in their speech bubbles. (We found this great idea from Nancy at First Grade W.O.W.  )  The final step of this project was to post the classroom rules around your classroom. (These rule posters are available in chevron or polka dots at our TPT store.)
