The Desk Fairy is Here: Classroom Notes Freebie

December 5, 2014

There really isn’t anything like the holiday season in the classroom. Attention spans get shorter while activity levels get higher. Kids are pumped full of holiday treats and cheer while routines go out the window. It’s sort of like a game of Whac-A-Mole; as soon as you handle one issue, another pops up. Isn’t it fun?? Oh, the days of “going with the flow” in the classroom. =)


While many homes and classrooms are bringing in elves that report to Santa, I always went with the Desk Fairy. Let’s face it… halfway through the year, desks can be a hot mess. They’ve accumulated treasures {and moldy snacks, true story} for months. But a quick visit by the desk fairy gets everything back in order. I drop a few hints that I’ve heard she’s been seen around the school, rewarding students with organized and clean work spaces (desk and floor).  Voila! A flurry of activity as messy desks magically become orderly.


A few days later when the Desk Fairy visits, students with neat work spaces are rewarded with a small treat and note from the fairy herself. If my warning didn’t motivate students, an actual visit usually does. No one wants to be left out on her next trip! 


Grab my free clean desk notes and give them a try with your class. Your room will be neat in no time!

    I can't find your clean desk freebies. Am I doing something wrong?
