Sub Notes

Lunch: If students have a lunch box, please have them set it on the desk outside of my door. Students should also have already had their restroom break/hand washing done before they go to lunch. * There are the 2 different ways that we do lunch: 1st lunch is at 10:25 am-Please have students ready to go at 10:25. Have students line up and walk them to the cafeteria. Leave them with an aide. You will need to pick them up from the cafeteria at 11:05. 2nd lunch is at either 10:27, 10:30, or 10:33 depending on the order of you and the other 2 classes. You will either start with the green wand or have it passed to you. Tell the students the lunch choices and have them line up for lunch that way. You will need to pick them up from door #3 at 11:10. You may need to remind students that they should not be talking in the lunch line so that the lunch ladies can hear their choices and to have LOUD voices when ordering. Restroom Breaks: Anytime while at stations (can go without permission) or if it is in the middle of a lesson, they need to show the restroom sign and then its your choice. PBS: We use a positive behavior clip system for behavior. If a student is doing something really good or following directions, or has been really helpful, they can move their clip up. If you have problems with students or inappropriate behavior, then you can have them move their clip down. Yellow is a warning, Orange is think time (have them sit out for 5 minutes by your desk). Red is a lonely lunch (you have to fill out a paper and give to cafeteria aides). Purple is lonely lunch and no recess (you have to fill out a paper and give to cafeteria aides). Please let the assistants know in the lunch room which student and what privileges are to be taken away. If you continuously have problems with a student and they have moved their clip down past red- they do not get to move back up on the chart. Please get with a team member if you run out. If a student goes to black, you will need to fill out a office referral that you can get off of the Tradewind server. If you do not know how to do this, please see another Kinder team member for help. They will mark their folders at the end of the day, please make sure they mark the correct color and the correct day!

Where to Find Things:

Teaching Supplies will be in the desk drawers and or in the book case. Supplies for classroom (pencils, glue sticks, glue bottles, crayons, dry erase, notebook paper, etc) can be found in a tub in the storage closet. All the tubs are labeled. Markers, paint, and play dough can be found in the cabinets under the mailboxes and treasure chest. Books I have books in the closet in all 4 drawers of the filing cabinet, in the storage closet in the two middle drawers, in the classroom library, and in the black basket by the horseshoe table. Different subjects should be labeled and the books found behind the label. If you cant find a certain book then you can ask the Kinder girls, 1st grade or the Librarian. Music In the top red drawer underneath the cd player are all of my cds. I use Sharri Sloane cds a lot and Dr. Jean, but there are other good ones in there too! Teaching Ideas I have clear tubs that have all sorts of ideas and games for Literacy and Math. You can use them or put them in the tubs for stations. Just make sure if you change up a station, introduce it to the students and show them exactly how to use it. Literacy: Phonics book is in bookcase behind horseshoe table. Math: Journeys books and papers are in the storage room, on the floor in a black box labeled Journeys. Guided Reading: The Next Step in Guided Reading or The Book as we call it, is in the bookcase behind the horseshoe table. Jobs Please move around names on Monday for jobs. I remove the first name, put it on the bottom and move everyone up a job. Then read it out so the students know what their job is for the week.

Daily Schedule:
7:55- Pick up students in the gym. Students should come into classroom, put backpacks in their cubby and put their behavior folder in the blue basket on my horse table. At the end of the day, you can give folders back to students. 8:00-8:15- Breakfast: The students will come in and take out their discipline folder, lay it on the table and get 1 of everything for breakfast. Take out white piece of paper and check students names that are eating on that day, put AB if the student is absent. (Students do not have to eat, if they do not want ANY of their meal, the whole meal can go back into the cooler and warmer. If they just want part of their meal, then the rest has to be thrown away. However, I do let them take home food that will not go bad if they do not want it during breakfast. (EX: crackers, goldfish) All trash needs to go into a big white trash bag (side of black bag) that can be left in the hall when breakfast is over. At 8:15 I tell them to clean up. I have the breakfast helper choose a friend and they take out the extras and throw them in the trash. Tell them how many kids are absent and they will leave the whole meal in the cooler and bag. Also take attendance during this time in Skyward.

8:20-8:40 All students should be at the carpet for Calendar. For calendar time, ask students what the month is, and spell it out, say the months of the year, and sing the days of the week song. Ask students what today is, yesterday was, and tomorrow will be please change this on the calendar board. Put new day on the calendar. Write the code date with the students help. Ex: ask them what will changeand why. Then do morning message. You can also put in a song to get the wiggles out. They really like Tony Chest Nutt or you can choose another one. Morning Message- Use chart paper on easel and a regular marker. Change it up from day to day. I have a Buzz Book that has all sorts of ideas in it in the bookcase behind my desk.

8:40-8:50 Handwriting- Tell the students what letter they are working on. Draw a box on the board and tell them how to write it, then have them repeat it back to you.

You will need to put students into groups based on their instructional level.

If you have questions, ask a team member or call me. Literacy Tubs- These tubs have all sorts of literacy concepts. They have alphabet, beginning sounds, ending sounds, white boards, making CVC words, etc. The students know that if they get these stations, they must either write words, sight words, or make sentences. We are past writing the alphabet and they may NOT draw during this time! Writing- They may use their writing journals or blank paper or lined paper. Please make sure this stays stocked. It is next to the treasure chest in the white drawers. Reading- Stays the same- however, please make sure students are reading their guided reading books before they are reading/choosing new library books. Remind them that if they get a book out they MUST put the book back exactly where they got it when they finish reading it. Write around the Room- I have clipboards out in a red tub. I have a folder that has read around the room papers. Please make copies and make sure there are always some in the red tub. Students can use pencils or the pens next to the tub to write. Read Around the Room Students can choose to read the charts hanging by the bathroom, the hundreds chart, or anything on the easel. They can use pointers to read also. Puzzles - The puzzles are in the middle drawer (yellow). I just put new puzzles out the day we got out for break so you shouldnt have to change them, but if you would like to; they are located in the storage closet in a bottom right tub. Remind the

students that the sticker on the puzzle matches the sticker on the bag. These puzzles have sight words, rhyming words, CVC words, and math problems on them.

If you get a new student then you need to:

Get a behavior folder from the office. Any color will do but try to get a yellow for a boy and a pink for a girl. Make sure there are behavior sheets in them, if not just borrow another students and make copies. Then in the bottom drawer of the colored drawers there are other things to put in the folder (look at another students for reference) and name tags.

Make sure they have a name on a mail box. A name on their cubbie. A green basket with their name on the front and back. A orange handwriting book with their name on it and any other folders for their green basket. These folders are located in the cabinet above the student mail boxes.

Get them a crayon box (left bottom cubbie) and give them a box of crayons, 2 pencils, and a space man. Try to label the box with their name also. Add them to any lists that I have, such as how they go home. Get their lunch number and have them practice it.
