Educational Explorations

This report can be used for recess monitors to record incidents or arguments that occur when you are not present. I have found that most problems happen at recess when I am not supervising rather than in the classroom. This report gives teachers written documentation for what happened so that parents can be informed if needed. Feel free to edit as you wish.

I use this checklist in my classroom. When my students write journals, they must use the checklist before they turn their journal in. I then use this as a rubric taking 5 points off for each area they did not do.

To control classroom pencil use in my classroom. I decided to make this sheet. I keep it on a small clip board near the pencil sharpener. I have a bucket for sharp pencils and a bucket for unsharpened pencils. If students do not sharpen their pencils in the morning and need a pencil during the day, they must write their name down in order to take a new pencil. Since we do a classroom economics program in our class, students must pay me a credit for taking a pencil. This way I can track who is ta

I made this form for a few of my students who were having trouble with leaving their work at school or not doing what was written in their planners. They had to mark that they checked their folder, write down the number of unfinished work pages they had left, and then have their parents sign it at home. In the morning, they turned in their sheets and then had me sign their folder. I would reward them for each day they completed their chart.

Attach a speeding ticket to students pages to encourage them to slow down and do quality work.
