Start your day on a positive note with a unifying classroom chant! Every morning, I did this class chant, with accompanying hand motions with my kiddos during our morning routine. It was a great way to start the day with positive affirmations as well as a growth mindset. They had a lot of fun doing the hand movements that go along with it as well. You are welcome to make up your own motions, but here are the ones I used. They are listed in order of line number. 1. point to brain with both hands

This interactive tracker can be used for an entire class during whole group practice, for small groups, or for one on one purposes.

For the sake of anonymity, you could use student ID numbers or code words/names. I hope this resource is helpful for you,

These notification slips can be sent home with students so their families have an update on how they are doing each day. When I started teaching I was pretty against using clip charts for behavior, but I quickly learned that the visual reminder is really helpful for students, especially the littles. I made sure to present the system using positive language reminding them that everyday they get a new chance to make new choices to be their best selves. Plus, they really like the emojis and you can

Need a template for tracking the progress of sound for your littles? Look no further and save time by using this editable sounds tracker. This template made it so easy for me to track mastery of sounds for each of my students. I specifically used this template for intervention purposes, however, you could use it during initial instruction as well as for intervention during small groups. After inputting data from their initial assessment, I would highlight any new sounds learned during their int
