Differentiated Seed Exploration Unit for Kindergarten
This is a unit I designed very recently for Kindergarten. Each year in the spring I do a four week unit on seeds: the way they travel, why they are so important to the life cycle of the plant and what types of food come from seeds! This unit incorporates many different learning styles and alsogives options for formative and summative assessments. This unit culminates with a "Seed Snack Buffet".

Weekly Helpers Job Board
Over the years I have searched for the best way to display the Classroom Jobs for the week! For the last three years I have taken self adhesive library pockets and labeled them with a picture

Hanging Mail Pockets
This year I used an over the door, shoe organized to store the student's folders each day. Each day when the kids come in the first thing they do is put away their folder.

The labeled pockets also enable the kids to easily put away notes and notices for me once they learn to recognize eachother's names!

Magnetic Letter Storage Solution!
In my classroom I use a large file cabinet to store all my magnetic letters. I simply used masking tape to divide the side of the file cabinet into 26 squares so that each letter has its own designated area. This solution makes it easy for the children to find the letters that they need on their own. When letters fall off by accident, I simply gather them up and toss them in a box labled "Help, I am lost!" When we have choice time I ask for a friend to sort out all the missing letters.
