Team Building Ideas

So many linky parties!  This one is on Classroom Team Building and is hosted by




I love to play MOVE IF so the students get to know a bit about each other while getting active.  Here is a video I found that shows kids playing this fun game.  The person who is it says, "Move if ..."  and all the players move if what was said applies to them.  Have all the kids sit in a circle.  They must move two chairs away from their last spot, so they can't just move one seat over.  You need to have enough chairs for everyone except the person who is the caller (It).

My students start off with these calls:
Move if you have black on.  Move if you are in the second grade.

Then I have them add things like - Move if you have seen the movie Cars 2.  Move if you have a sister.   That way they get to learn a bit about each other.

Mrs. Bainbridge is having a linky party come on and join in.




The only ones that came to mind are the following:

1.  Did you forget to put your batteries in?  I ask them when I'm not getting much participation from students.

2.  Use your coconut!  I'm referring to their brain, but they think it is cute.

3.  When there is a situation with child A saying "so and so (child B) told me to."  I usually ask child B to ask child A to give me $100. I let them know they need to think for themselves and make smart choices. It gets them thinking.

4.  When I taught Kinder there would be accidents and spills.  I noticed that they would all turn their heads to me to see how I would react.  It also showed me that these poor little guys weren't use to my type of reaction and they might have been waiting for some yelling.  I just would tell them- Accidents happen, clean it up and lets get back to learning.

Vistaprint! Be Creative and Save

Join

She is having a Vistaprint Linky Party.






I have used Vistaprint for a few years now.  It is easy and I wait for their specials. Once I get that email for freebies I take a look to see if I need anything for the classroom that they offer.  Here are a few of my purchases.

 This is a small car magnet.  I have it on the front of my desk.

 I have a few other t-shirts but this one is my favorite.

I use this one during one on one assessments.

I've placed these on my class library books.

 I used these two years ago since we did have a paraprofessional who made our copies at that school.

 This is a bumper sticker to add to my class decor.

These two I used when I went back to work after my maternity leave.

My next shipment should be arriving next week.

I want to purchase the following in the near future.

Near and Dear to My Heart, Donorschoose.org

I have blogged about the wonderful classroom and student supplies I have received with donorschoose.org. I also know that a lot of my blogging buddies have projects up as we speak (I mean as we blog). I just wanted to send some resources your way.

There was recently a webinar given by Francie Kugelman on Laura Chandler's website. You can find a link here.

Also if you have not already liked DonorsChoose.org|We Teach on Facebook. I highly recommend it. Click here to join.

Here is a website where all you need to do is put in the URL from your latest project to create a flyer. Click here to make your own.

I'm having trouble with google docs, so sorry it is so small.

The following items I don't take credit for being the primary creator, they were shared on the Facebook page and I added what worked for me.





This fall Limeades for Learning will be in full swing. Please click here for more information.

I also have one way to keep track of thank you letters and pictures that the donors receive after you project is fully funded. I needed to make the chart to keep track this year since we were blessed with a surge of kind donors. That will be up soon.

Have a Happy 4th!
