Less than a week until school starts.  I still have so much to do.  I did complete one of my bulletin boards today. This is my new Problem Solving Strategies Posters and Bulletin Board.

I got to use my new toy: a Laminator !  The school has a giant laminator in the teacher’s lounge, but you have to get the person with the key to help you use it.  And, every time I’ve tried to get the person with the key to help me use it, they haven’t been at school. 

So, I ordered my own small laminator .  It’ll be perfect for when I have an epiphany at ten pm and decide that I need something laminated for my lesson the next day.   

MATH = LOVE RECOMMENDS…

A laminator is a MUST-HAVE for me as a math teacher! I spent my first six years as a teacher at a school with a broken laminator , so I had to find a way to laminate things myself.

I’ve had several laminators over the years. I currently use a Scotch laminator at home and a Swingline laminator at school.

• Scotch Laminator
• Swingline Laminator
• Nuova Laminating Pouches

I highly recommend splurging a bit on the actual laminator and buying the cheapest laminating pouches you can find!

I’m seriously addicted to laminating .  I pretty much want to laminate everything in my house right now.  I’d show you all the other cool stuff I laminated , but it’ll have to wait until I can actually put it up in my classroom. 

I laminated my door decorations , but I can’t put them up until they finish staining my door…

But, I did get to finish my Problem Solving Strategies Bulletin Board today.  And, yes, I hate the pipes and cable running in front of my bulletin board as much as you do.  This is what happens when you teach in a school that was built in 1919.  I have random pipes all over my room. 

I love the building, but it definitely comes with its challenges.  The original slate chalk boards are still on the wall.  They’ve just been covered up.  And, I’ve got a radiator along one wall.  Does it still work?  I have no clue.  I guess I’ll figure that out come winter time…  So much to learn!    

If you want to create your own, I uploaded the problem solving strategies posters I made as a PDF file.  I just printed them on Astrobrights paper (another new favorite!)  

I’ve also hung these posters on the wall below my Smart Board before.

Thanks for including the PDF of the posters!! I'm going to use a couple in my room 🙂

Since reading your blog, I've gotten the laminator out of the closet and have gone wild laminating everything I can (even begging the baseball coach next door to me if I can laminate stuff for him).

I completely understand. 🙂 I just ordered 300 more laminating sheets. I think I'm addicted…

these are so awesome!! thank you!

You're welcome!

Just found these…Thanks for sharing!!

You're welcome! I posted an updated set a few weeks ago if you're interested!

Social Problem Solving Posters {FREE}

By thisreadingmama 9 Comments

A few months ago, I shared a simple problem solving chart for kids . While this chart works well at home, it might not be large enough for a classroom wall, so I created some social problem solving posters  {free} that are larger and clearer to see from across the room.

Posters like these plus MANY more can be found in our Social Emotional Learning Visuals Pack .

*This post contains affiliate links. **The free download can be found towards the end of this post. Just click on the teal download button.

FREE Social Problem Solving Posters

The idea behind these social problem solving posters is to

• prevent unnecessary tattling by
• giving kids strategies and steps they can try when they have a problem with another peer

You can read more about how to use and teach these problem solving steps in my coping strategies post , but the idea is to start with #1: Say, “Please stop _______,” naming the specific behavior.

If step #1 doesn’t help, there are a few other steps the child can use, like ignore the behavior, walk away, or get help from a grown-up.

When a learner in my classroom {I taught K & 1st grades} would “tell” on another student, I would usually ask, “What did (s)he say when you asked him/her to stop?” If I got the blank stare, I knew the learner had skipped step #1.

Of course, there are exceptions to these steps, like being punched by another student. But for the most part, these steps are a great way to help equip young learners with life-long skills.

I love these! I think it’s so important to give kids strategies that empower them to handle situations themselves when possible. I’m going to print them out and use them at home with my four-year-old. Thanks.
