Whole Brain Teaching - Classroom Management

About 2 years ago I found something that has helped my classroom management out immensely!!  It is called Whole Brain Teaching!!  I have taken and adapted a lot of their techniques to fit my needs.   If you have never heard of this, I urge you to go check it out!  You can search them on YouTube and see some of it in action too!!!
This is the way we start our day EVERY morning!  :)  This is just one of their techniques that I LOVE!!!  I have posters for each rule that I will try and remember to take a picture of tomorrow - I will see if I can find the docs on my computer and post those too!!
THE RULES!!!

Dinosaurs in Action

Here are some of my kiddo's during small groups today, sorting dinosaur footprints onto the correct initial blend!   Love to see the smiles!

Dinosaurs

We began our dino unit this week with the help of Deanna Jump!! We started out by making our schema chart. :)


Then we talked about herbivores and carnivores and wrote and drew about each.











Next week will be even better with our Dinosaur Glyph and adorable art project. They will also be doing some Dinosaur Math Journals and a Dino blending game...(which I will be creating thus weekend :) )

On a different note - here is one of my babies having fun at recess on this beautiful day!! :)


Have a good weekend!

Photobucket was not my friend for a few hours but apparently it has since decided to work - even though I upgraded and did everything I was suppose to.  :)  All is well now!!
