2nd 6 Weeks

Well, the 1st 6 Weeks if officially behind us! I feel a sense of relief. It was rocky. Now, going into the 2nd 6 Weeks, I know my students' names, where they sit, what period they're in, etc. I am learning their strengths and weaknesses. I can tell a sub who he/she can count on for help and to whom "special attention" is required.

Suggestion: I have made file folders on my desk. They are color-coded and labeled for quick and easy access. I have a file folder with my SpEd students' names. They have a Hall Pass for Content Mastery that these kids can use when they need extra help on a test/assignment. I have a different folder with rosters for each of my classes. I have another that holds all the bell schedules for specified events. These are also color-coded. For instance, on early release days, we have an adjusted bell schedule for dismissing at noon, and on assembly days, the bell schedule is adjusted a little differently. It's good to have these printed and ready.

I just created a figurative language item on TpT and TN. It has notes for the different types and 2 worksheets with answer keys. Grab 'em now!
