Hi my name is Alexis,
I am a 5th grade teacher so I know all about behavior. If you need advice I am here to help. Here are a couple Ideas that help me alot. You could use a color chart. If a child is bad you have them go to yellow(every child starts on green and use closepins with the childs name on it for chart) then if they are bad again they go to orange and then red. Each color should have its own punishment such as DETENION, 5 MIN. OFF PLAY TIME, PHONE CALL TO PARENTS OR WHATEVER. Another way is marbles. Every day the class is good you put 5 marbles in and once you fill the whole can up they ALL get a prize such as a PIZZA PARTY, PJ DAY, OR ICE CREAM PARTY SOMTHING FUN! However if the behavior is bad they lose marbles. Those are two Ideas for you. Any questions or commets? Write your questions or commets on my wall or somthing thanks. Hope this helped.

I think this site is so great that I thought I would share this with you.

Many teachers are being asked this year to do more with less. Often, the impossible is expected yet nobody is offering teachers much in the way of useful help or tools.

I hope that you recognize SpellingCity as a key to achieving real educational and productivity gains.

Here's where SpellingCity lets you do even more with less:

• vocabulary
• phonics
• writing
• handwriting
• alphabetical order
• spelling

Since SpellingCity keeps adding capabilities, you may not be aware of the full breadth that we provide. Back to school is a great time to review the possibilities. Watch our one minute videos to see what more SpellingCity can do for you.

SpellingCity Helps You Do More with Less

Jeremy Gilley founded the non-profit organization Peace One Day in 1999 as part of his quest to establish the first ever day  of global ceasefire and nonviolence.  In 2001 the UN passed a resolution declaring September 21 the International Day of Peace, Peace Day, and since then Jeremy and Peace One Day have been working hard to institutionalize the day.  As part of this, the education department has come up with a FREE online resource

that provides 21 lesson plans and 28 classroom activities for exploring issues such as: ending bullying, conflict resolution, intercultural cooperation, the United Nations, and the link between sustainability and peace. Using September 21, Peace Day, as the focus, the resource works in conjunction with the documentary film The Day After Peace, which charts Jeremy Gilley’s (founder of Peace One Day and director of the film) journey to establish the first annual day of global ceasefire.  A classroom version of the film is available FREE online along with the Resource, and the Resource itself contains a wealth of video clips.

Each lesson plan refers to National standards and fits well within the frameworks of History/Social Studies, Civics and Government Studies, English/Language Arts, Environmental Science and more. To find out more about the Educational Resource and to show your students what young people can do to make peace, please go to:http://www.peaceoneday.org/en/education.  Register now!

The Resource is also available in the 6 official languages of the UN: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, Russian, and Spanish.

Please do not hesitate to contact me and let me know what you think!

1. Prepare some nourishing and non-spillable food and drink for the day.

Do not include nuts of any kind.

The percentage of children allergic to nuts, is very high and not worth the risk.

Even having a small amount of nuts on your hands could pose a serious health

risk to some children.

2. Arrive at school by 8.00am. There may or may not be alot of preparation, so

it’s good to get a head start, just in case.
