For the last two years I've used a clip chart in my classroom. Before that I used card flips. I liked card flips but found that they focused too much on bad choices....so when a student had a rough morning and when they went home and showed their parents my recording page it looked like that had a bad day. (I still keep my card flip chart, recording pages, and cards for when I need to make a change or 'crack the whip')
I liked the clip chart because it gave me an opportunity to focus on good choices as well. I did this verbally but this was a good visual for the kids. It also let the kids turn their behavior/attitude around. I feel that when the parents see my new recording pages they get an overall view of the whole day.
Here is my original clip chart:
(it was on my summer bucket list to revamp)
I really like it--but it needs a make-over. I'm going to chalk it up to my first attempts and when I first got started creating more classroom things.
Right now I don't have a good color printer (on my summer to buy wish-list-----side question: do you prefer laser or ink jet and why?)
Here are some choices that I'll have when it's time to print and laminate and put this bad boy together!

Is there a theme that you have in your classroom that you're just dying to see a clip chart to match?

I'd love a copy of the clip chart bundle. I've been using the system for a few years and would love a cute update. Pick me! Pick me!

Great minds think alike! Revamping my clip chart was on my summer to-do list and I just posted about mine too! Hope you get a color printer soon so you can finish your project.

I plan on switching over to the clip chart this year after seeing positive results in some of my team member's classrooms. Your sets are super cute! Thanks for sharing!
