Classroom Brochure
I was inspired to change up my classroom syllabus that I've used for two years by two things:
1. Couldn't find the file without going to my classroom (in July...at 10pm on a Sat).
2. Elementary teachers get all the cutesy type of stuff for them.
So, I googled and searched through Teachers Pay Teachers and Pinterest until I finally opened up Microsoft Publisher. Usually I find a template online and then manipulate it; however, I used one of the basic set-ups by Publisher.
It's difficult to consider what a 12-13 year old would like as I am over twice the age of my students. I gave up adjusting everything to their tastes about a year ago. My students do not care if I spent 6 hours coming up with the perfect foldable. They care about making things their own.
So I put myself in their shoes and came up with this:
You can download it here:
Of course, the one I will be using in my classroom has my contact information on it. The rectangle on the first page is actually where I have our school logo. I felt it was inappropriate for me to leave it on the blog.
My students will have interactive journals this year and no binder (*cringe*). As such, my students will have to glue this form (contact info side down as they won't need it) onto page 1. As we go through the year, I will post more information regarding our journals, so you can get an idea of what we do in my classroom. :)
You are doing such a great job! :)
