Owl Chalkboard Clip Chart

I have so many things I want to post on here, but I keep running out of time!
I have been teaching summer school for students going into second grade this summer, and I am absolutely loving it! I have a lot of ideas and materials I will hopefully be posting soon. Hopefully...
My big news is that I was offered a job teaching kindergarten!!! I am so insanely excited. So hopefully I will start posting things I am doing to get ready. Of course I always say this and never actually do it. But I'll try!

Last night I stayed up until 3 am working on a new behavior clip chart. Oops! I just couldn't stop once I started. I saw an idea on TPT and thought about downloading it, but there were things I wanted to change, and it was not an editable file, so I decided to just make my own! (Thank you Primary Buzz for the idea!! You're great!) So this summer I have been using this behavior chart which I love, but I really want a black background/bright colors/owl theme in my class next year, so pirates didn't quite fit. This is what the pirate chart looks like in my summer school classroom.


This new owl chart will work the same way. Students start the day by moving their clips from "home" to "ready to learn." If I notice them doing something good, I ask them to move their clip up. If their behavior is a strugle, I ask them to move their clips down. Here is the link! It is free on scribd!
