Judy Migliore (TpT Seller) re: 3rd Grade Common Core Math and Literacy Checklists
I love your resources. I've been browsing tonight and got some free ones and some paid ones. I love the checklists for Math and English for Common Core. My school has us making our own posters of these to use with the students to show them how much they have learned so I'm going to use yours as a student checklist instead of a teacher one. I didn't realize, though, that this one included both math and ELA and purchased ELA separately:( Would it be okay with you if I pass that one along to a friend without purchasing an additional license since I already have the ELA in this pack?

sb22bps re: Classroom Jobs - Classroom Economy Edition
Hello!
I am so sorry to ask again, but could you make a couple of changes to the job cards from your class economy set that I purchased. You have already created some for me, but I just realized that I also need a couple changed??
Librarian: Could you make one that has Job Description of "takes library books to the school Media Center every morning" and nothing else?
Secretary: Change to say "answers the phone..."Mrs. Barnes' class, student speaking." Also, takes messages and relays them to teacher right away and nothing else.
Pencil Person: Keep the first bullet under Job Description about gathering pencils from around the room. But delete all others and add, "put pencils in pencil can". Can you create a second Pencil Person Job where students are just responsible for sharpening pencils in the pencil can.
Last, you created a job for me that was called Lunch Delivery. There was a couple small mistakes. Could you make the job description read:
*Delivers Lunch Bin to the Bears' Den.
*Ensures all lunches make it to the Bears' Den safe and sound. (I think you accidentally typed Bear Den, instead of Bears' Den)
Thanks so much! I know this is a lot to ask!!

jejobin re: Classroom Economy: An Educational Classroom Management Tool
I noticed that on the e credit/debit tracker, the top has the addition sign next to the credit and a subtraction sign by the debit. However, on the totals at the bottom, the signs are switched and incorrect (I believe) and it throws some of my students off. If you could fix this, I would greatly appreciate it!

Hi again! My kids are loving this by the way!! Question, what is the difference between your banker and your accountant? Do you use the salary cards to determine how much each child worked during the week? How do you manage keeping track of each child completing/not completing their jobs on a daily basis? Does each kid get a credit/debit sheet. Do you recommend using that instead of the cash and paychecks? Tomorrow is their first pay day and they are super excited but I have to train my accountant and banker first! What do you charge for rent? Thanks again!!

Hello!
I just purchased your Community Jobs and was in need of some other jobs. Is there any way you could create them for me using pics that look similar to the ones you used?? I need a Desk Inspector (to check for desk organization and neatness), Recycling Manager (to take recyclable material to the Recycling Station and sort it into the correct bins), Barnesburg Store Clerk (to manage class store purchases), Lunch Delivery (4 students who take lunch bins to lunchroom) and Coat Room Monitor (who picks up any shoes, hats, coats, etc. and puts in class lost and found). Also, can I edit your cards?? Lastly, what is a "banker" in your classroom. How do you monitor bank accounts (deposits)?
Thanks!

hkdoyle07 re: Classroom Jobs - Classroom Economy Edition
Hi! Love this product! A couple of questions. How do you determine their salary? What is certain students don't buy into this and refuse to do their job? We are a PBIS school and give out school falcons for respecting self, others, and property. I would usually pay my students in falcons for completing their jobs, but it was hard to manage. They would then be able to spend falcons on lunch bunch, prize bin, homework pass, etc. How would you recommend using the classroom economy with a school wide behavior program? I also use whole brain teaching. So I am stuck on how to utilize all of this with the current practices I have in place. But I love it and want to use it badly because in 5th grade, students need to know how jobs are related to money and responsibilities in life. Do you communicate this to parents? If so how? How do you justify paying " rent" for desk and chair? ( Just thinking about parents) If they don't pay do they not get
to keep it? When do they receive credit as opposed to debit? Would I be able to change pencil man to pencil sharpener? Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions and I look forward to hearing from you.

August 26, 2012
a TEACHER on a MISSION (TpT Seller)
Thanks for the questions⌠Hope these help!
How do you determine their salary?
***There are a few things I take into account when I determine the salary. (1) What are high-interest jobs (2) What jobs require a lot of skill/work (3) What are some easy numbers kids can handle to use for salary amounts. For example, the Janitor is not a high-interest job but it is important and requires work throughout the day so I usually have that on the higher end. The Banker is a high-skill and high-interest job that may not need to be utilized daily, so I usually put that in the middle. The Security Guard and/or Teacherâs Assistant is generally a high-interest job that doesnât require too much skill so I put that on the lower end. I like to use easy numbers like $10, $15, $20, and $25 a week/month (depending on your preference). This makes it easy to break down the salary amounts by the day (if you do it on a weekly basis.
What is certain students don't buy into this and refuse to do their job?
***Since I let students apply, I hope that most get a job they want to do and I only let them reapply maybe 3 or 4 times a year (to save time and work). If they donât do their job, I âfireâ them and ask if anyone else wants to take on an additional job. I feel the job is a privilege and if they donât earn it, they donât get to keep it, and consequently, donât get paid. They may have a chance to reapply for a job the next time, but I always tell my kids, their day to day actions prove if they are qualified for the jobs. However, my students also earn money for making good choices and earning certain scores. Since they need money to pay rent and tickets, they may need an additional form of income.
We are a PBIS school and give out school falcons for respecting self, others, and property. I would usually pay my students in falcons for completing their jobs, but it was hard to manage. They would then be able to spend falcons on lunch bunch, prize bin, homework pass, etc. How would you recommend using the classroom economy with a school wide behavior program?
***It does get so hard to manage all the different instructional and discipline strategies! I would maybe allow them to trade those in for your classroom economy dollars so it is easier to manage. We have something similar, but for classes instead of individuals. I take the âcomplimentsâ (little slips of paper from other teachers saying we are doing a good job) and trade them in for our own class wide reward system instead of having two separate things. Also, I do agree, it is hard to manage classroom stores and stuff like that. This year I plan on having a classroom store open once a month and a big auction at the end of each semester. I will sometimes do a random day where I will sell a snack for âread and feedâ or sometimes I will randomly put one or two things up for sale, instead of a whole store.
I also use whole brain teaching. So I am stuck on how to utilize all of this with the current practices I have in place. But I love it and want to use it badly because in 5th grade, students need to know how jobs are related to money and responsibilities in life.
***Iâm trying Whole Brain Teaching this year as well. My plan has been to integrate slowly, and not all at once. Starting a new year is overwhelming, so I try to implement small parts of things, especially the classroom economy. I start with just cash, then add on jobs, then a community contract, then tickets, and finally rent.
Do you communicate this to parents? If so how? How do you justify paying " rent" for desk and chair? ( Just thinking about parents) If they don't pay do they not get
to keep it?
*** I have not formally let parents know with a class letter, although I should!! I need to get on that. I do let parents know if it comes up. I justify rent by the fact that adults work for the money they make and they do not just get to spend it on fun stuff. They have bills to pay and if they break the laws or violate agreements, there are tickets or fines. I remember in 6th grade, my teacher had us actually come up with a business to run in the classroom. She charged us rent the first week and gave us the option of paying for all the weeks at once or week by week. The next week, the rent went up. It taught us a little about inflation and saving!
When do they receive credit as opposed to debit?
***Instead of writing paychecks or giving cash you can mark in the credits section and then just add it to your paycheck after a chunk of time. Debits usually happen if they make poor choices, get a ticket for behavior, or need to replace lost/forgotten materials. I use this tracker to put multiple âtransactionsâ together instead of adding it separately in the bank account. I may not even use it this year.
Would I be able to change pencil man to pencil sharpener?
***Sure! What is your email address?
I hope these answers help! Every year Iâve used a classroom economy, I always tweak routines and procedures just a little bit! Youâll find what works in your class as you go ď

***Instead of writing paychecks or giving cash you can mark in the credits section and then just add it to your paycheck after a chunk of time. Debits usually happen if they make poor choices, get a ticket for behavior, or need to replace lost/forgotten materials. I use this tracker to put multiple âtransactionsâ together instead of adding it separately in the bank account. I may not even use it this year.
Would I be able to change pencil man to pencil sharpener?
***Sure! What is your email address?
I hope these answers help! Every year Iâve used a classroom economy, I always tweak routines and procedures just a little bit! Youâll find what works in your class as you go ď

I absolutely love your rules poster graphics, but your rules are not the ones I use. Is it possible to purchase blank posters?
Thanks for your hard work!

If you want, I will type in the rules for me! It would be just as easy as sending you blank ones! If you send me your email address and the rules you want, I will just make them for you :) If not, can also just send you the blank ones.

The borders are from Graphics from the Pond here on TpT! They are called Fuzzy Bumps Borders. Here is the link:

It is called Elephants in Cherry Trees. Here is the link you can download it from. At this site there are tons of free fonts you can download!
http://www.kevinandamanda.com/fonts/freescrapbookfonts/elephants-in-cherry-trees/
If you've never downloaded a font (which I never had till recently), after you click on the download button, click save, then open folder. To install the file, extract file by right-clicking (if you need to). After that is done, right click on the font and choose install.
Have a great back to school!

I ordered the classroom jobs packet and I noticed it said if we need any of the jobs changed to let you know and you would do that. I teach 2nd grade, so some of the job descriptions I will need changed and I was hoping I could add 2 jobs to the list. I have the blank page, but it will not pull up to where I can add my own. I saw where your email was posted below so I will send the list to that email if that is ok? There is not a lot of changes, but if it is to much you could also send me the template, and i do not mind changing them myself lindsaymerritt@rocketmail.com. Thank you!!

Hi, I love your whole brain teaching freebies. By any chance do you have a set in a different font?

I do not but I will make one for you! What do you not like about this font? Are you looking for a more traditional font with correct lowercase and capital letters?

vhinojosa re: Classroom Job Forms - Application, Time Cards, Paychecks
Hi, I purchased the Classroom Job Forms and when I download it, everything is on one page. I tried playing around with it to enlarge it but I am unable to. Everything is way too small to use in the classroom. Am I doing something wrong or is this what I purchased? I was under the impression that the "Job Application" is on one page, the "Congratulations" is on another page, etc.

I re-downloaded the file! I checked it on the product page and it downloaded it myself and it turned out that each page was on its own page! I hope it works for you...if it doesn't please let me know. I'm sorry it didn't work!

Hi, I purchased your classroom jobs set. However, these jobs are not the same as the ones I need in my classroom. I am not able to edit them either. Is there anyway you could send me the template? I love the look of them and want to use them, but I need different jobs!

a TEACHER on a MISSION (TpT Seller)
Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you...just saw someone had posted a question! Do you have a lot that needs editting? If not I could do it! But if you do I could send you the template as well! Not sure if the fonts will work or not... Just send me your email if you want to try it as a template or info about the jobs for me to update. My email is ateacheronamission@gmail.com! Thanks for purchasing my product! I'm glad you like it:)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have been a teacher in my mind for as long as I can remember! So many times, I fought with my sister and her friends to listen to me teach little lessons and grade fake papers. "School" was my favorite thing to play! Now I get to play real school everyday! I have been a "real" teacher for four years. My second home is in a bright, colorful third-grade classroom in Iowa full of bright, colorful little learners.
MY TEACHING STYLE
My teaching style depends of the day, the kids, the moment. To teach is to be flexible, take risks, and try new things! I am always looking for new ideas.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I attended the University of Nebraska at Lincoln an earned my bachelors in Elementary and Special Education. I attended the University of Nebraska at Omaha and earned my Master's in Reading (K-12). I hope to return to school soon! I love being a student.
