We have 10 teachers. Each teacher will teach reading and then only one other subject. My subject is math. I will teach 2 math classes (also ability grouped). I'm excited and scared at the same time!!! <br /><br />I can't wait to see more of your book study. I look forward to reading it. :-)<br /><br />Cynthia<br /><a href="http://mykindofteaching.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">My Kind of Teaching</a><br />Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880536592295941267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199112896622588675.post-88231605958637290982013-06-12T18:00:54.730-05:002013-06-12T18:00:54.730-05:00You have plenty of time Amanda.

Since we mostly had our own homerooms I just had nametags on the desks for my homeroom. When the other homeroom came in I assigned them seats and they were really good about remember where they sat (only took a few reminder from looking at my chart). As for supplies, my students have cubbies that they are to use for holding their supplies. I tell them anything left in the desks is left at your own risk! I hope you have a great year!<br />~Courtney <br /><a href="http://polkadotlessonplans.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Polka Dot Lesson Plans</a>Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599783995819335329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199112896622588675.post-43809637959719467552013-06-12T07:29:47.254-05:002013-06-12T07:29:47.254-05:00I team taught (ELA) three years ago and my partner...I team taught (ELA) three years ago and my partner and I had a little bit different situation than anyone else's comments (I think). My very best teacher friend helped me make cloth seat covers to place on the chairs. My homeroom had the desk in both classrooms and my teaching partner's homeroom had the seat covers in both classrooms. We also used the small "shirt" name tags to label the desks. My homeroom on the left and hers on the right (again in both classrooms). We had supply caddies in the center of our desks, which were organized into groups. Everything supply-wise stayed in the caddy. EVERYTHING was community. No "this is my pencil, my eraser, etc..." It worked out very well. It's just a suggestion. I hope you guys find what works for you!<br /><br />:) Nicole<br />Tadpole Tidbits<br />www.mrscorbitt.blogspot.com Mrs. Corbitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959975705738507712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199112896622588675.post-41448086597154150612013-06-11T22:34:46.131-05:002013-06-11T22:34:46.131-05:00Thanks for the advice Erica!

I a...I have team taught for 10.5 years and love it! I also teach ELA/SS to 4th grade. We have our students bring everything with them when they switch classes. They keep all of their notebooks, workbooks, and folders in their school bags. Their textbooks are left in the desk. Of course we always have students who leave their pencil or a notebook by accident. They are given three strikes. <br /><br />Also time is always a crunch with ELA. I had about 2 hours to teach ELA including Reading, Writing,Grammar and centers and about 30-45 minutes to teach SS every day. I always stress about it every year, but it ends up working out. Let me know if you have any other questions.<br /><br />Erica<br /><a href="http://www.ericashep.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Shepherd's Shining Stars</a>Mrs. Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05891907500674949205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5199112896622588675.post-11881409797216403782013-06-11T21:02:47.511-05:002013-06-11T21:02:47.511-05:00I didn't see that Donalyn Miller has a new boo...I didn't see that Donalyn Miller has a new book coming out.
