Favorite Advice
I am linking up with Dragonflies in First to share the best advice from mentors/peers. It is hard to choose because there are so many words of wisdom that have been so helpful. If I had to choose one it is based on what a current first grade coworker shared with me one day... Assign each child a number and have them write it on all their papers. This makes filing a dream (especially if you have a helper). It facilitates writing grades in the grade book, checking out books (inventory) , and it lends itself to this catchy tune I created. Number, name, and date. Number, name, and date. isn't it great to write your number, name, and date. Tune: Farmer in the Dell (I believe) We sing this song before every activity. Each child having a number can be used for a multitude of things including mailboxes and lining up. The possibilities are endless!
