My new school year starts next week, so that means it is time to put together this year’s free printable lesson plan book. In case you want to create one for yourself, I am sharing the files so you can print and customize your own lesson plan book for the 2022-2023 school year. This free …
I created this free printable grading list to keep track of all the assignments I need to grade and enter into our online gradebook system. When the pandemic happened and almost all of my assignments went digital, I realized that I needed a plan in place to keep track of what has and hasn’t been …
I’m trying something new called Student Responsibility Sheets. My school has used an online gradebook system since before I started working there. Students are given a password where they (and/or their parent/guardian) can check their grades in each class, check which assignments are missing, check their lunch balance, and check how many times they have …
Just a quick post today to share how I’m using a seating chart preference form in my classes this year. Seating Chart Preference Form This year, I have tables instead of desks for the first time in my teaching career. In preparation of making seating charts for the first nine weeks, I decided to give …
My school pays teachers to do after school tutoring, but there’s one catch. We have to keep a log of our hours and the students we help in order to get paid. I often help students after school, but I’m terrible at keeping records. This means I rarely get any compensation for my time. This …
Most teacher planners that I see online seem to be focused on the elementary grades. I don’t need field trip planners or a zillion pre-made seating chart pages, so I decided to design my own. When I thought about what I wanted in a planner, I decided I wanted weekly calendars (with lines since I …
In this post, I am sharing 25+ free exit ticket templates that are ready to print and use in your classroom. I teach math, but I intentionally designed these so they work for almost any subject/age level. Last week, I read a post on Amie Albrecht’s blog about One Minute Surveys. It instantly brought to …
I’m back today to share a new semester new year reflection form I created for my students to reflect on the previous calendar year and look ahead to the new year. Tuesday was my first day back. Monday was the first day back for my students, but life intervenes and you have to take a …
One of the new strategies I’ve implemented this year is a unit reflection sheet. So I thought that as the first semester is wrapping up, I should reflect on how this unit reflection sheet is going. I’ve still got a few more lessons to teach and semester tests to write/give/grade. You might consider this blog …
I created this parent information sheet to help aid me in improving my parent contact. I have shared the form I created with the hopes that it will inspire you to create your own. Every year, I tell myself that I’m going to do a better job of staying in contact with parents. And, every …
Before students are allowed to retake quizzes this year, they must complete an error analysis sheet. Here’s what I’ve come up with. I’m not opposed to changes or tweaks if you can think of a better way of wording something OR better reflection questions to ask. Here are some close-ups of the error analysis sheet …
I’m sharing a “What Were You Doing?” Reflection Form I use as part of my classroom management system. One of my New Year’s Resolutions for teaching was to demand respect from my students. I’m just tired of fighting and arguing with students over whether their behavior is appropriate or not. Now, when students disrespect me, …
I want to share a Keep Change Start Stop Reflection Form I created to help both my students and I reflect on the past semester and prepare for the new semester. Tomorrow is the first day of our second semester! And, I’m so excited! If you would have asked me on Sunday if I was …
In a perfect world, every student would be in class every single day. Sadly, I don’t teach in a perfect world. Last year, as I began teaching, I knew that I needed to have some way to organize the work that students missed. I ended up creating a “While You Were Out” Binder that turned …
Today I’m sharing the Algebra 1 syllabus I created for my students to glue in their interactive notebooks. So many of my students were unfamiliar with the word “syllabus.” Throughout middle school, high school, and college, I was always presented with a syllabus at the beginning of the year. Some were more detailed than others, …

I created this form for my students to use whenever they wished to retake a quiz/test. Before students were elgible to retake an assessment, they had to reflect on why they did poorly in the first place and attach proof of three activities they did to increase their understanding of the topic before the retest. …
I created this log to document parent contact during my first year of teaching. Here’s the file in case you would like to use it in your own classroom. Free Download of Parent Contact Log Looking for other classroom forms?
I created this missing work form for students to fill out and turn in when they are not turning in an assignment on the day it is due. It is my hope that students will be so annoyed about having to fill out the form that they will just do the assignment! Free Download of …
I’m planning on implementing interactive notebooks this year in my high school math classroom. As I’ve been trying to decide exactly how they should be laid out, I’ve found myself sketching pages on a piece of notebook paper. This inspired me to create an interactive notebook planning page that I could print out that would …
This year, I have a lot of ideas I want to implement in my high school math classroom. I definitely want to begin each class with bellwork. My plan, as of now, is to use practice ACT math questions as a warm-up. Though, some days the bellwork will be problems they have seen previously or questions such as Stella’s Stunners that …
