This year my goal is to have less mess in my classroom. When I taught summer school it was not in my own building, so I only brought what I really thought I needed. When there is less clutter I find there is more peace and I think all of us teachers can agree that we can use all the peace we can get in our classroom. Therefore, what I do put on my walls and on my counter tops needs to be up there because it serves a purpose.
These Character Trait Posters support what is in the planner I created and help me to incorporate that focus into the everyday moments in my classroom.
In my classroom I have a bulletin board, that I will be posting on here soon, that has a focus on character and growth mindset. I plan to put the character trait posters on that board.

This will be my second year teaching 5th grade. My fifth grade team decided that the planner we were using didn't fit all of our needs. So, I created one that we are going to try out this school year!
If you don't want to read on and just want to see the planner, here is a link:
I am the "bring all the groceries into the house in one trip" kind of gal, so I wanted to pack as much in this planner as possible.
In fifth grade our students need character education and we don't always have set aside time for that. That's why I created pages that have a different character trait for every month.
Growth mindset is something all of us teachers are learning about and teaching our students to have. There is a spot for weekly reflection so that students can think about what challenged them, a mistake they've made and what they learned from it.
Instead of students focusing on what went wrong with their day I've added in a daily reflection checklist that is all about what went well. Students can fill this part out or you, their teacher, can! There is a box next to it for teachers to sign or write down other important information. Students also get to write down one thing that went well each day.
I really hope that this planner can be a "one stop shop," for myself and my students. I hope it can do the same for you!
