They just used your mind and they never give you credit. -- Dolly Parton

I spent my Saturday making a chart for classroom jobs for my summer school students. I tried my best to jazz it up with cute pictures, but didn't really realize what a large role it would play in my classroom until I took a moment to Google other classroom job charts. I stumbled up on this article that explains how students cannot begin to be responsible until you give them something to be responsible for. The article also states that "in order to develop decision-making and reasoning skills, children need opportunities to exercise and practice doing those things." I also love that it gives students an active way to be involved in the classroom. It reinforces that the classroom is our space as opposed to my space.
