After several failed attempts at learning logs and posting standards... I found SUCCESS!! Implementing the Ladybugs Teacher Files' CRAFT board in my classroom has not only helped keep my kids more accountable, but has helped me to stay organized and on top of my game!!
To help anchor all of the learning that has been happening, I created the CRAFT Binder! This is the perfect companion to the CRAFT board! Included in this **FREEBIE** is not only the binder cover and tab sheets, but a description of HOW I use this binder with my first graders alongside the CRAFT board. Be sure to follow the links embedded in the download to see specific products that have helped make the CRAFT binder work for me!!

One
of the most important factors in the CRAFT binder is that it helps to anchor
the learning that goes on from day to day. This
can be managed in many different ways as I have shown
in some photos within the download. It really
depends on the lesson and how you want to manage it!
Way
1:
Give
students a graphic organizer or an outline to place in their binder that they
will need to fill out or complete along with you!
Way
2: Sometimes
I
type up a small sheet
of the
learning
objectives
for a lesson and then
have students glue
it into the appropriate tab of their binder.
WAY
3:
Create
an
anchor chart
together and take a picture
of it and then
add the actual photo to their CRAFT book.
WAY
4: Refer
back to specific lessons or pages within the CRAFT book.
Most importantly, you need to find something that works for YOU and your STUDENTS! :)
This is a great idea! Love it. (I too have problems with staying organized where the teaching of my kids is concerned.) I am going to try this very soon. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I just found your blog through Mrs. Miner's Monkey Business. I have just started following your tpt store. Is there any way I can follow your blog as well?
