For a Colorful and Kind Class
Hi all! I am someone who loves to stay organized but also needs an outlet for my creativity. I have been working with a program called GoodNotes 5 on my iPad, which lets me create digital notebooks that are easy to look through, reorganize, and add visuals to.
This a app is also great for creating handouts to give to parents of class schedules and information. It has quickly become one of my favorite ways to add a pop of color and organization to my classroom!

Newspaper articles are an effective and fun way to spread information. This can be done with staff, parents, or students. Students can create a newspaper article as a project, in groups or individually. Not only does this engage students, but it also helps them think about literature in their everyday lives. If students enjoy this, you could compile articles for class newspapers and keep them in the classroom library. This is an example and template I used to create an article about social skills:
Pamphlets are a great way to spread information and communicate with parents and families. Pamphlets could easily be sent out through emails to save paper and still talk about something we want to spread awareness about. They can also be used to share information with other educators, including staff. Pamphlets can also be used to welcome parents to our classrooms! Here is an example of a pamphlet I made about hearing impairment in young children.
