I have the 4 square books and I love them, but I'm not sure how to get the information across to my students. There is one example and I keep trying to think of more....then the students come up with things that don't fit.
so confused....I suck at teaching writing....
anybody have ideas to get me better at teaching writing?

I wanted to run my behavior management plan by some of you veteran 2nd grade teachers. I really don't like the idea of "treasure box" … I've done it in the past and it created a lot of problems and was pretty expensive, too!
Basically, my class will have an opportunity to earn 25 points each day for following the rules and having good behavior. I turn this into a game called, "Students vs. Teacher" … I put a score board on the whiteboard and every time I catch a student behaving correctly, they get a point. If a rule is broken, after one warning I get a point. At the end of the day, my points are subtracted from their points.
If they make 25 points, they get to spin the spinner on the class game board at the end of the day and move a class game piece around the board. On the board are various silly "treats" they can participate in as they head out the door … like a quick game of Simon Says or a round of Chicken Dance. Sometimes they'll get a treat like a Hershey's kiss. Reaching the end of the game board entitles the entire class to a fun activity.
This provides positive and negative consequences throughout the day, teamwork, a small daily class reward, and an eventual, bigger whole group award.
I've found this to work really well with 4th graders, but I'm not sure how well it would work with 2nd graders. What do you think???

I usually don't do this, but I think this will be a great resource for the struggling kindergarten, first, second, and third grade readers who are in an at-risk school building.

In this time of financial contraints, technology is limited. The recipients are selected through an online voting process. SO -- If you have a moment, I'd really appreciate you going online and voting for my idea. It would really mean a lot to me to have your vote and support! Just go here and follow the directions.

Thanks, Jeanne :)
Anyone have any tests, etc posted on a website? Would love to see what others are using.
I just finished adding the rest of the free printable state word search puzzles. There are easy and hard versions.
