This download is for A to Z Word Wall header cards. I have included two font choices and sizes. The packet coordinates well with Woodland Friends Wall alphabet (from my Store) for your classroom. Also great for camping, woodland or forest themes.

Be a Hallway STAR Poster

Created by
Primary Peanuts
Through my training with Conscious Discipline By Becky Bailey - Building a Resilient Classroom, I have learned how important it is for routine, visuals and key words. I have designed a poster to use in the hallway with the Key word STAR. After the modeling, and practice students are telling each other to be a STAR. With the use of the positive word the students do not look at it as a rule but rather a way of life. More to come soon for cafeteria, bathroom, line procedure, and recess.

I am hoping this will help make some of my fellow Head Start Teachers life a little easier when they have to plan for the week with TSG. This has cut my planning time down to about 1 hour per week. Good Luck!

Teaching style

My teaching style revolves around inquiry-based learning where the lesson begins with a question then students often do hands-on activities to practice skills. The hands-on activities keep students excited and engaged from beginning to end. This might be a buddy reading, a worksheet, experiment, exploration of materials, research, or follow procedures. Teaching requires critical planning, flexibility, and strong classroom management. I feel inquiry-based learning allows students to guide learning to fit their interests and builds strong, social, open-minded future citizens.

Additional biographical information

I have been working in the school systems for 20 years. At the age of 45 I went back college and earned my Elementary Education And Early Childhood degree. Since then I have worked in a low SES area. My classroom every year has 7 to 11 high needs children. I run my classroom with lists of visual, routine, and expectations. Conscious Discipline is my way of life and I teach my children to self regulate. I am ready to share my experiences, talents and organizational skills with fellow teachers.
