The last day of school was a roller coaster of emotions. While signing yearbooks, I almost lost it (several times) when one student shouted, "Ms. Furnell.. I've been looking for you EVERYWHERE." Little moments! I am so excited to continue my fun as a teacher in 5th grade next year.
Of course, I'm crazy - and I started planning for next year. It's what I do. I plan, plan, plan, and plan some more. I've even already planned an itinerary for a vacation in two weeks. I can't help it!
Continuing with my crazy planning, I started working on a bulletin board for next year. Next year, I am going to utilize a theme of "Discovery" for my classroom. I'm going to tie everything back to this idea of discovering new knowledge, new information, new frontiers, etc.
So, I invite you to DISCOVER SCIENCE!

Our job chart was inspired by the oh-so-wonderful-and-life-altering-and-life-consuming iPhone.

Once I figure out what I want each job to be, I'll write them on the job chart. Exciting, huh?
Now, I'm off to begin my first day of summer break at the spa. Thanks to a wonderful birthday present, I get to spend my afternoon being pampered!
Happy Thursday! :)
I love the bulletin board! What are you planning for next year?
ReplyDeleteI totally might have to steal the iHELP idea...! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the ihelp and use pockets for my job chart right now, but it's so boring. The jobs I have are: inspectors (they dismiss students to pack up with cleared off desks and floor spaces), sanitation managers, sink manager, floor managers (pick up random stuff off the ground), paper managers, door/lights manager, materials managers, teacher helper, office manager, books manager (library books and our classroom library), homework manager, attendance manager, substitute teacher helper, substitute job managers.
ReplyDeleteHi! Is there anyway you can explain how you created the ihelp job chart! i LOVE it and am a first year teacher!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I used black and gray construction paper. The "apps" are made out of library pockets. You can find them at any teacher store..sometimes even the dollar store! I laminated the chart and sliced the pockets open afterwards. Super easy!!
