The Clutter-Free Classroom

Hi! I’m Jodi. I’m a National Board Certified Teacher and the owner of Clutter-Free Classroom, LLC. I blog, create educational resources and love to assist teachers with organizing, decorating and managing their learning spaces.

I’ve been a classroom teacher since 1997. Over the years I’ve taught preschool, kindergarten, first, and second in suburban and urban settings in both Florida and Massachusetts. I currently call third grade home. I live just north of Boston with my husband, son and identical twin girls.

The Clutter-Free Classroom Site is a daily blog that features photos, printables, resources and strategies for classroom organization, management and decor as well as creative lessons and teaching strategies for teachers in all academic settings. It has recently received a makeover and is very easy to navigate with helpful tabs and visual links to allow you to quickly find tipsand ideas to help you in your classroom.

I always start each day with independent reading of self-selected books. You can read all about my morning routine and why I have the do SSR on my blog in a post from last summer. If the link doesn’t work you can access it directly here: http://clutterfreeclassroom.blogspot.com/search?q=morning+routine

While I absolutely love this routine, I do find that some of my friends need some accountability for their reading. I had toyed with the idea of reader responses, but I truly wanted this time of day to be about reading for enjoyment from a book that they picked out themselves. So I implemented a status check in at the end of each session.

To do this, I print a copy of the enclosed printable for each student in my class. three-hole punch the stack and insert them into a pronged folder. When it’s time to transition to our first activity of the day, I flip through the pages and record the book and page # that each of my friends is on. I teach third and they are typically reading chapter books over several days so I just make those little quote marks underneath. There is a section for notes. I don’t typically write in that area unless there is something “noteworthy” to report (i.e. student met with me for a reading conference, was in the bathroom during this time, appeared to be daydreaming, etc). At the end of the month, I remove them from the folder and put each into the individual student sections of my ELA Notes Binder.
