Does your school participate in Accelerated Reader? Last year, was the first year that the AR program was extended to first grade...my kiddos absolutely LOVED participating and devoured our classroom library. I {fingers crossed} really hope that my new group loves to read as much as my group last year. Now that I have one year under my belt and understand the benefits to AR and how to use it effectively in my classroom, I decided that this year I wanted to have a classroom tracking system…just a quick way for me to see where my kiddos are without having to login and check their points. Also, to make sure that I don’t have any “pretend quiz takers.” L I absolutely love the Bubble Gum clipart that I purchased from Graphics from the Pond and thought it would be great to incorporate into an AR classroom display. Each grade level has a specific goal {points} to reach to be displayed in the “AR Hall of Fame.” Our first grade students’ goal is 50 points. I created point posters {1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50} in two designs for the students to sign each time they reach a specific point goal. The cool thing is the bubble gum machine fills up as the students reach a higher point goal.

Lastly, you can grab this mini pennant banner for free to decorate your "First Day of School" frame...this is the frame my kiddos will be vogue-ing with! I included Kinder-Sixth grade in this free download. Thanks to my own firstie for modeling momma's project.
Enjoy!
