Classroom Jobs- FREEBIE!

Woo hoo!  I am finally on summer vacation, and I am so excited!  I'm also done with a little local pageant that I helped direct, so I can check that off of my list too!  (My hubby cheerfully helped fluff feathers on little princess crowns to help out.  I'm such a lucky gal!) Anyway, now that my life is slowing down temporarily, I can finally take time to work on a few extra projects for next school year.  A teacher's work is never done.  I also have time to BLOG!  Finally!  I have totally neglected this little slice of cyberspace lately.  At any rate, I wanted to share a little freebie with you all.  It has made my life so much easier!

Once upon a time, I had 5-7 classroom jobs that rotated on a weekly basis.  Then I realized that it was difficult to manage when you’re going to grad school, coaching,  planning a wedding, and living a crazy-hectic-sort-of-existence.  So, last year, I switched over to a bi-weekly rotation, and I totally thought it would work for me since I was married and no longer coaching.  Wrong-OH! I still felt like it wasn’t my cup of tea.  So, sometime in the middle of the 2nd nine-weeks, I decided to make a change.

I decided to create jobs for every kid in my class so that everyone always had a job to do.  I tried to make my life easier by creating jobs that the kids could easily do to free up some of my time for other tasks.  The kids applied for a job, which is a great life-skill, and I tried to place them where I thought they would be happy using their top 2 choices, bottom choice, and their responsibility levels/strengths to “hire” them.  The kids were all happy to have a job to do, and this freed me up to worry about other things for one whole 9-weeks until we applied for jobs again.  This was pure magic, so I HAD to share!
