Classroom Jobs!

When I first started teaching 5th grade, I wanted everything to be perfect and I felt like it was hard to give up control of the classroom tasks. I sure have learned my lesson since then! 5th grade students are so helpful and when you give them responsibility. Giving the students jobs, helps them take ownership of what goes on in the classroom.

 Now, 5th graders also think that they are older and wiser than their younger counterparts and deserve more responsibility. I wanted to create jobs and responsibilities that reflect their age group.

 In my classroom, the students get "paid" in tickets if they do their job for the week. In order to get paid, they have to fulfill all the tasks described in the job description. Instead of me trying to remember what each person is responsible for, I put it right on the poster!

 When I put the jobs up in my classroom, I print them in color and get them laminated right away. After I laminate, I put them up on the "Help Wanted" wall. I will put the students names on banner in the middle of the job posting in permanent marker. Throughout the year, as I change jobs, I color over the name with Expo marker and wipe clean to write a new name!
