- Draw our plant today.
Teacher tip
Measure the plant each Friday and graph its growth as a class.
How to use it
- Introduce each job and model it before kids take it on.
- Rotate jobs on the same day each week so everyone gets a turn.
- Slide it into a sheet protector and use a dry-erase marker to reuse it all year.
Watch for
The same kids getting the favorite jobs. Use a fair rotation.
Talk about it
- What makes someone good at their job?
- What is one thing that went well this week?
