I have a few jobs for students in my classroom. Honestly, I struggle a bit with classroom jobs. I work really hard to make sure students are responsible for themselves and their own area in many ways. I would like to add a few though. I rotate the jobs each week, so that students get a chance to do different jobs throughout the year. I took this picture of my "job pockets" a few days ago. A few of the jobs are not in the picture. I made a new sign for next year. Using laminated library pockets with their names on craft sticks is easy for me to manage, so I'll continue with that system for next year.
The "jobs" in my classroom this year included: book bags, snack drinks, lunch cards, attendance cards, paper passers, book shelf keeper, morning message checker. The picture only shoes a few of the jobs and I made a new sign recently. Next year, I'd like to add a few. If you have "jobs" in your room are willing to share your "jobs", I'd love to hear about them!
Off to bed, so I can wake up early to get ready for my favorite parade of the entire year. The Memorial Day parade where my family lives is AMAZING! I cry every year... a proud, happy cry of course.

I also have table cleaners who wipe down our tables at the end of the day! Line leader, which is the most sought after job! Door holder so that I can lead my class and not have to worry about holding the door. Flag leader, who leads us in the pledge of allegiance. And calendar helper who leads our calendar time. Classroom jobs are the best! Thanks for sharing how you've organized yours!

Not sure if it is needed in first, but in K we have shoe helpers that help tie shoes for kids that don't know how! That's a huge help! White board eraser (end of day), Pencil sharpener- sharpens all pencils in the unsharpened "basket" and moves them to the "sharpened" basket.
ReplyDeleteMy FAAAVorite helpers are the scrap patrol. I usually pick 2-3 kids to be part of the scrap patrol since it's a big job. They go around and pick up any scrap paper, pencils/crayons and such on the floor before we leave the classroom each day. They help me out soooo much! And it keeps our room looking nice! =)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite jobs that seem to be the biggest help to me are teacher's helper (takes notes and lunch money to office), remote helper (turns on/off the projector), board eraser, and sweeper. I have a cute duck broom so sweeper is a job the kids really want.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had classroom jobs for a couple of years now, but I do have one helper each day who kind of does it all. I'm thinking of reintroducing more jobs next year. I had a light monitor who turned the lights on and off as needed and made sure they were off when we left the room. I also had a "squirts" helper who was in charge of giving hand sanitizer when we needed it.
ReplyDeleteWe have many jobs in our room and they are changed every Monday morning. So, if someone doesn't get a job this week they will have one next week. They are, line leader, locker helper, scissor helper, math helper (we have a lot of manipulatives to pass out), milk helper, library helper (they bring all the books to the library first thing in the morning on library day), messenger, mail helper and our door helpers are always the second child in line. Hope this helps.

Sorry for the long post here, but this is my list for this year (I have had only 2 jobs for the last 2 years, but this year am returning to the job rotation involving more participation. I think it is better for the children! ;)

See it as a really interesting, unique time in Canada Basketball, he said. Talent really pouring out, the young talent continues to pour out, the Raptors had a pretty good season, the fan base, the people are interested all over the country in basketball, I think it an important time for a group of six, eight, 10 guys to stick together for five or six years. Would be the ideal blueprint for success.
ReplyDeleteIf there was a unifying theme of the 2015 National Soccer Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday night at Seattle Museum of History and Industry, it was full circle. Men national team assistant Glenn Myernick, Sounders coach Sigi Schmid and Olympia native Kasey Keller were all honored Saturday night, the red blazers of former inductees dotting the crowd. Soccer, opened the show. (tags: Cheap Real Yeezys, Discount Jordan Shoes Wholesale, Cheap Yeezys)
