Strumming for Learning

If your district uses Clever to house the apps of adopted programs, this login card makes it helpful to get those logins organized at home and at school. I print the student QR codes off of Clever, cut them out, and glue them onto this editable PDF. Then laminate and send home or keep in reading folders for parents to keep track of. I also keep a copy in a folder in my classroom for student use and for subs to access. This form is editable so you can type in your district's Clever landing page U

Teach your students this traditional song and the movements to go with it. Then change up the lyrics and movements for ANY subject. Hit those academic and VAPA standards together.

Having a classroom aid or volunteer is incredibly helpful. This check list helps you organize the work you need them to do and gives them the independence and guidance to get it done. This is great for the beginning of the year or as an intervention for students struggling with foundational concepts. Check the skills you'd like the students to work with and what they need to do when they're done. Place this sheet on top of the worksheets and/or activities you want students to complete.

Print these dismissal cards on cardstock and they can be filled out for each student at meet the teacher night or back to school night. Organize them alphabetically by first name and keep them next to your classroom door in a folder or binder with a pen (for parents to make changes if needed). Grab at dismissal. They are so helpful for you the beginning of the year or when a child has multiple adults pick up on different days. Also helpful for subs so they can feel more confident at dismissal.

Use this fillable PDF to organize tasks and routines for your classroom aid and/or volunteer. Having a page with your plan helps your aid stay focused and productive and keeps you organized and one step ahead.

This sheet can be printed and placed in student daily reading folders that go home. I recommend placing your weekly sight word reading worksheets, sight word rings for the trimester, and flashcards specific to what each student needs to work on. This is a great way to communicate with parents on their child's progress throughout the year. During transitions, have students read through the contents of their reading folder.
