I have been using the same types of homework incentive charts for years now. I decided it was time for something different this year!!! How about a bulletin board game?!?! The mascot at my school is the owl, so I use a lot of owls in my room. This year, our PTA adopted a pirate theme, so we are now seeing lots of pirate owls all around school! The theme also goes along with a theme our principal has adopted called "teach like a pirate." This is based on some professional development by Dave Burgess . Check him out, there is some great stuff there! So, back to my homework incentive chart. I have wanted to make a large bulletin board game for a while now. I found some really cute owl pirate clip art, and decided to go for it. Students will all start at the owl pirate and follow the map to get to the treasure box.

I also have a student intern with me this fall and wanted to make sure to familiarize her with the school and procedures, etc. during my first two days back. Because of these reasons, I really have not done anything too creative with my room yet. I want to put together a cute bulletin board outside of my room, but it just has not happened yet. I do, however, have something to share with you that is new to my room this year! At the end of this last school year, I came across this filing cabinet in a hallway at my school. Someone was getting rid of this trash treasure. I am forever looking for new storage options for my room, and scooped it right up! The custodian thought I was crazy for being excited about this, but I knew that I had big plans for this baby! First, I took off all of the handles and t...
