5+ Helpful Parenting Charts from Thirty Handmade Days
Over the last year or so I’ve shared lots of ideas for parenting guidelines. As I’ve said lots before, these are just guidelines. You have to do what’s best for you and your family, but the information I share is meant to be helpful. Parenting can be tough! It’s the best, hardest job there is. I’ve gathered a lot of info and wanted one spot that I could put it all together.

Time for Report Cards! from Inspire Me
Before I pass out their report cards I have the students fill out this self-reflection… After the students fill out their self-reflection, I call them to the guided reading table to have a mini-conference. I call about 5-6 students at a time and give them the opportunity open the report card envelope, review their grades, and most importantly, ask any questions. We then discuss how I assessed their “characteristics that affect learning” and compare it with their own self-reflection. The students and I then talk about what can be done to improve and make a realistic goal for next quarter.

Life Skills posters from The Resourceful Room
I am so excited about these. We have an awards assembly once a month at our school at one child from each classroom is recognized for demonstrating the “life skill of the month” I created these to help introduce the skill and hopefully give students a reminder of what we are working on each month. I am going to display them just like my birthday display! The life skill of the month sign will go on the wall and the other cards will go on rings right below so it can be easily flipped each month and won’t take up a lot of room!
