On this page, you will be able to find some neat ideas for frogs.
Many of these ideas are mine, and many are other
teachers' ideas.
F.R.O.G
Binders
I have been using F.R.O.G.
Binders for several years now, though I do use them a little bit
differently than I did when I first started.
I have found that since I have switched to fifth grade, I have had
to change how I use these binders in my classroom. For instances, I
do not use the Communication Log anymore, because my fifth graders
have an assignment book. I communicate with my parents in the
assignment book. I have also added a data section as my school
corporation want the students to keep track of different types of
data such as attendance, homework, spelling, and a lot more.
My F.R.O.G Binders are
an adaptation of M.O.O.S.E binders which can be found in more detail on
the Teaching Heart website.
Many of these sheets were created after researching different worksheets
that other teachers had developed. Click on the links below to be taken to
the labels, cover page, and rules page that I will be using this year. The
graphics on these documents are taken from
Cute Colors. Be sure to check this
site out. You can find out how I use these ideas by visiting my
F.R.O.G. Binders page. |

Frog Parts of Speech
Bulletin Board |
|
|
|
The PDF files
listed below were created by me using The Printshop Deluxe by
Broderbund and MS Paint. I created this bulletin board set because I
was looking for parts of speech that had a certain look. I could not
find what I liked so I decided to make my own. The frogs are
different colors, because they are color-coded to match my word wall
board in my classroom. Enjoy! |

Kermit the Frog Journal |
|
|
|
Since my
classroom theme is going to be frogs this coming up school year, I
decided that we needed a mascot. Who better to our classroom mascot
than Kermit the Frog? Each night Kermit and his little suitcase (in
the suitcase will be Kermit's journal, pencils, & crayons) will go
home with one student. The student will then be responsible to write
in the journal (pretending they are Kermit) and tell what Kermit did
with them that night. The next morning, I am going to have the
students share what Kermit did with them. Please check back when
school starts, I will be posting pictures of Kermit, his suitcase,
and journal. I will also share what Kermit has done with my
students. I no longer use
Kermit in my classroom. I felt that using Kermit would be too young
for my fifth grade class, but I have had former second graders who
became my students in fifth grade, remembered Kermit fondly. If you
are a teacher of primary students, I highly recommend Kermit! |

Frog Behavior Bucks |
|
|
|
Each month my
students are able to "buy" items from store with the behavior bucks
that they earn throughout the month. The students earn 5 behavior
bucks for 5 days of not moving their frog on the behavior board, 3
bucks for 4 days, 1 buck for 3 days. If they only have 2 days of
good behavior they owe me 1 buck, 1 day of good behavior they owe me
3 bucks, and for 0 days of good behavior they owe me 5 bucks. We
keep track of how many days they have gone without moving their
frogs to the lily pads by using a behavior chart. It they can go one
complete month without ever having to move their frog they receive a
special treat (candy bar, pop, etc.). I have used this system for
several years and it has worked wonderfully. In the past I have used
tickets, but decided this year we would use "money" instead.
Below are PDF files of the "money" that I will be using this year. I
am planning on printing my "money" on different colored paper just
so I can easily tell the different values apart. |
