4th grade

Starting next week I will be full time teaching the 4th grade classroom I am placed in. I have a lot of ideas that I would like to incorporate in the classroom eventually. Starting next week I will be adding another job to the classroom jobs. The job that I am adding in, is balloon pop attendance. Balloon Pop is done on the smartboard. Each balloon has a name of a student on it. When they arrive they pop their balloon then they will fill out the attendance sheet. Starting next week I will also be integrating music and movement into the classroom for my research project. I am anxious to see how it will all go but I am nervous about all of the data I will be collecting and will have to keep organized. I have decided that one way I will keep things organized is by dividing each of the 6 weeks into 6 different colored folders and using different colored notebook paper for each week to write the data on. This way I can keep things organized weekly and then in the end it will be easy to identify all of the different weeks of data due to the different colors of the paper and folders.
