Presentation 3

In an elementary school, there are various classroom jobs that can help create order and responsibility among students. These jobs include line leader, caboose (back of the line), greeter, door holder, plant waterer, and taking care of classroom pets. Assigning these tasks not only helps with daily routines but also teaches students the importance of taking care of their environment and working together. Additionally, having a designated board cleaner eliminates the daily struggle of students wanting to erase the board. These jobs make the classroom more organized and enjoyable for everyone. Classroom jobs in an elementary school. Okay, one of the main jobs, of course, is the line leader. We all know that the kids want to be first everywhere they go. They rush to get to the line first. Well, when you have a line leader, you already have somebody designated. The kids aren't having to run and pushing each other all the way to get to the door first because there's already a job of a line leader. At the caboose, no kid wants to be last in line except when it's a job title and the kids deem it important. So they say that it's a job and they see that they are important and that they are in charge of the back of the line so they can look at the rest of the line and make sure everybody is staying quiet and doing what they're supposed to do in line. The greeter. I've seen several teachers have the greeting options outside of the classroom, but to be honest, I don't really see it being used as often as they should. A lot of the times, the kid has an option of receiving a hug to start their day, a high-five, a handshake, or a fist bump, but like I said previously, teachers have so many different jobs. They're constantly being pulled to different areas of the school to do something and they might not be able to stand there at their room every morning. So if they assign somebody to be a greeter, it is a more important task and they have somebody there every single morning making sure that that is being done. A door holder. It's imperative to have a door holder when you have 15 to 20 kids coming out of a room and all using the same door. You definitely need a door holder and kids love holding doors. A plant waterer. I know that whenever I get my classroom, I want to have so many plants to just give it a nice and clean feel in my classroom. Kind of makes it more homely and peaceful for the kids as well, but we know that plants require care and it's a perfect job for students. You can get you a little water bottle, put some water in it. If you have a little sink in your classroom, they can even do that themselves and just going around spraying the plants. I know that students would love having that job. Classroom pets. I don't see that much anymore. It used to be a big thing when I was in school, but I feel like that when I have my own classroom in the future, I would like to have a small classroom pet. Kids love animals. We know that's something in a classroom like a hamster or a fish. Just if it's a hamster, making sure they have water, teaching them how to feed the hamster, how much you need to give it. Same with the fish. Have a little cup so that they can measure the food themselves, not feed it too much, but that's a great little job and it helps them if they're wanting to get a pet at home and you know the parents are saying, hey, they're, you know, they're jumping in at school. They have a pet in the classroom and they are helping take care of it. You know, maybe they would be okay to have a pet at home too. A board cleaner. I know that my students, it is a fight every day about who gets to erase it. So, assigning someone, it takes away, you know, them being able to ask constantly, can I do it today? Can I do it today? It's already assigned, taken care of, and you get a clean board out of it and the kids really enjoy it.
