Behavior Reflections Freebie

photo of Behavior Reflections Form
This time of year it can be difficult to keep kids on track, and many students begin to engage in distracting and annoying behaviors. Years ago I developed this Behavior Reflections form as a way for students to think about why they were choosing to behave as they were and how their behavior affected others. I found it to be extremely effective, so I wanted to share it with others. Visit Corkboard Connections to learn more about how to use it and where you can download your free copy.

It is crucial for students to discover the patterns in number grids.  Most teachers work on this during calendar time.  Other people work on it during math centers.  One cool thing I've seen all over Pinterest is this guy:
An awesome and simple little teaching tool over at Teacher Tipster’s Facebook page!
(look for “Teacher Tipster” on Facebook if this link doesn’t work; it’s in the recent wall photos)
You can find the original and other ideas over at Teacher Tipsters Facebook page.  

I also like having hundreds charts as a center activity.  I created 20 different pages that are ready to be printed and laminated for your centers.  I used a 120 chart to meet the Common Core standards.  Click on the pictures to come over to my blog to grab yours!
