I have so many great parent volunteers that help in the classroom, chaperone field trips, work with small groups, etc. This year, I wanted little gifts of appreciation I could give them each time they come in. Enter: these fun gift tags! Rectangular tags are included to attach to candy bars and bag toppers are included to attach to bags of small items. With 30 different designs, there are plenty of options to choose from. I'm making a bunch of these up ahead of time this summer and putting the

Disney's Creative Process Display

Created by

Sprout Classrooms

I've always been fascinated with Walt Disney's creative process. The story says he had three physical rooms in his animation studio-one for the 'Creative', one for the 'Realist' and one for the 'Critic'. In the Creative room, ideas flew. No ideas was a bad idea. Everyone was encouraged to go out on a limb, and the walls were covered with contributions. In the Realist room, the big ideas met reality. Disney and his animators started to ask 'would this actually WORK?'. They became harsh judges

How Does Your Garden Grow? Long Term Plant Observation Booklet

Created by

Sprout Classrooms

To fulfill our NGSS requirement of sustaining a long-term observation within the classroom, our fifth grade team is using plant observations! Students were able to design their own experiment, choosing from a variety of seeds, containers, soil types, watering methods, growing locations and light sources. The trick? They could only pick ONE of these to be their variable! I created this booklet to help them visualize their experiment-they had to outline exactly how they were going to grow Plant

Classroom Agenda Strips

One of the first questions I get from my kiddos each morning as I bring them into the classroom is 'What are we doing today?'. These agenda strips on the front board help to cut down on that. I have these strips cut out and laminated with magnets on the back. Each morning I switch them around to visually show the kiddos what we're doing for the day. It helps to cut down on the 'what's next?', and it keeps me on top of our day's happenings. When everyone is in the room and working on Bellwork,
