Classroom Monitors

Part of being more organised, for me, is to keep things tidier. The way I have always tried, but failed, to do this is to get the children to do most of the work!

This year I am going to use a classroom monitor chart, and stick to it. I will change most of the monitors weekly but the ones which will need training I will keeps for probably a term; for example, the art and PE monitors.

Now I have been teaching for longer, I have a better idea of which jobs are most helpful. The only one I couldn't fit on the chart is a tray monitor to make sure felt tips don't end up in the line guide tray etc.

One year I had name labels for all the children and moved them around but I found this very time consuming and so the system fell by the wayside. This time, I have left a gap at the bottom so, after it is laminated, I can just write their initials in a white board pen.
