Done Jar!

I saw the Done Jar idea for the first time here and fell in love with the idea. I used some of her ideas, but incorporated quite a few of my own. All you need are a mason jar or other jar (dollar store), popsicle sticks (dollar store), foam letters (dollar store), and markers (which I had lying around). Label your popsicle sticks with the ideas you want and drop them inside the mason jar. I put 'done jar' on the outside of the jar in these shimmery foam letters.

 I added a 'done binder' option. What that is, is if they pick that stick, they go to the 'done binder'. Obviously. In this done binder, there are practice worksheets for skills they should know or brush up on as well as some mind teasers. They're fun little worksheets for the kids to do. I have a sign out sheet in the front so they know which worksheet they're on (I have about 14 in there for now). There's enough copies of each worksheet for each student in plastic sleeves and they're separated by sticky notes on the side so the student can quickly go to whichever one comes next. They just sign out whichever worksheet they're doing as a quick reference.

It's easy and simple, but if you have any questions, please ask :) My students LOVE this idea and they're always asking if they can go to the done jar. Job well done, if you ask me ;)
