Hey
friends! Long time no blog! I know, I know... I've said this before... but I really do hope to do better about blogging more frequently and get back in to it!
We just finished up our first full week of school and I wanted to stop by the blog
today and share again with you something that I've been doing in my classroom for
several years now that I absolutely LOVE and have found to be super duper effective in
helping me manage ALLLLL the things.
I've
had a camping theme the last 5 years.. so this year I decided to switch it up and traded in my forest animals and trees for farm animals and all things barnyard from Creative Teaching Press! If you are looking for a new theme check out CTP at my affliate link.
A new theme means a new student of the week.
Let me introduce you to my "Farmer of the Week!" This
special student is featured in the hallway on my barn display
for everyone to learn about. The Farmer of the Week is my special helper
and line leader for the entire week. So no changing or keeping track of
daily leaders/helpers. If a job/task requires more than one helper then
the Farmer of the Week gets to pick a friend... and they love picking a
friend! Lots of times they want to pick someone to help out even if it
is a one man job. They love to spread the Farmer of the Week love and
duties around! HA
