Division and 3D Shapes Poster

Here's a couple of other posters that would be good to put up in your room. One is help the kids remember how to do long division and the other is a poem to help them learn about 3D shapes and remember what they are and things like. However, the 3D shapes thing doesn't even have to be a poster, you could just pass it out to each student to use as a reference or just use it to teach them about the shapes.

Reporting vs. Tattling

Here's a really good way of explaining if something is reporting or tattling. A lot of kids love to just tattle on others about unimportant things and they are just trying to get the other in trouble or get attention. This is a good lesson to teach kids to show them the difference between reporting something (like bullying or something else severe) and tattling. This would be good to have as a poster in the classroom to remind them what is reporting and what is tattling.

Spotlights

Well, I'm kind of stuck on First-day stuff so here is some ideas for spotlights that you can have the kids make. Of course, these can be used throughout the year. The sunflower spotlight would be a good one for the first day for everyone to make at the same time and then share them. The other spotlight is probably better to give to 1 student a week or something.

2 Truths 1 Lie

Classic getting to know you game for pretty much any grade (except maybe the younger grades like kindergarten or first grade). It's even good for high school students!

I am...

So this a getting to know you thing that you could have the kids make then share with the class. It is probably for grades that are slightly higher (probably grades 3-6). First graders may not be able to come up with many things that they are, but it could be tweaked so that they don't have to write as many things, like in the picture. I think that this is a really good because it not only helps the kids to be able to to learn more about each other, I think it helps them to learn more about themselves because they really have to think about what they are not just what they like.
