I got to see Dr. Jean last week and I left with my brain crammed full of ideas. She has a great website full of wonderful ideas. If you would like, check it out
here. She also has a blog with almost daily ideas. My favorite were the cheers. They are a great way regain control in a crazy classroom and it REALLY WORKS. Here is a link for her cheer cards -

I thought I would include some pictures of other good ideas I have used in the classroom. I have very few original ideas and I can't remember what idea is mine and what belongs to someone else, sooooo ... if you see your idea, let me know so I can give you credit. I will probably have to put this disclaimer on every blog post.

This was mixing a little blue and a little yellow (love this book). I know a lot of people do this, but I just thought this picture was beautiful!
