For my classroom

If I didn't mention, I teach 4th grade and have taught this grade level for 10 years.  I always thought I would teacher Kinder up until almost graduation and then thought "God Bless those that teacher 5 year olds" because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I COULD do it but I also know that it is NOT my calling.  I much prefer a little bit older and self sufficient. :)  I have taught self contained classrooms, team taught, departmentalized... you name it.  Being a 4th grade teacher in Texas means a lot of writing.  Sometimes we are writing multiple things at once and it is so easy to get lost as to where each student is in the process.  I found this solution on Pinterest (of course) and with the help of one of my awesome room mom's, I have something that is a visual at a glance not only for me but my kids too.  I love it and will continue to use it until I get another job (as an Asst. Principal since I am not certified!  Yeah me!)

The sections are as follows:  Brainstorming, Prewriting, Rough Draft, Revising, Final Copy, Rubric

There are clothes pin with each child's number on them to identify where each child is in the process.
