Mrs Harmon's 1st Grade Classroom





The CAFE book & bulletin board
Over the summer I read The CAFE book by Gail Boushey & Joan Moser and loved it! It is system where students work on specific reading goals and presents them with strategies to help them achieve these. The CAFE goals and strategies are posted in the room for whole-group and individual reference.


"Good Fit Books" tote bags
Diane found these tote bags through Scholastic and we used points to get these!! Students use these to keep their "Good Fit Books" on the back of their chair. Students take their bags with them during Daily 5 and the best part is that you won't have students walking around exchanging books... instead they are reading the whole time !! 



AR certification bulletin board
Students drive up to the next level everytime they meet a certification level. I set up students goals on AR and when they reach a level, AR provides certificates to acknowledge this. Great way to keep them "driving through AR!"
