\"classroom<\/p>\n

In elementary room classes, classroom helper jobs are vital to the efficiency of the class. When students have a responsibility, they can help you take care of the classroom and make everything run as smoothly as possible. And when you have a substitute teacher<\/a> for the day, you don\u2019t have to worry about your classroom. Why? Because your students know the drill and will help with various things around the classroom. Everything runs just a little smoother.<\/p>\n

In order to make classroom helper jobs work with your students, think of jobs that need to be undertaken around the room. You don\u2019t have to have a job for each student, but you should have a method for rotating assignments. If students sit in groups, you could have groups take turns having a job. You could draw names from a hat. Just make sure to put the names that you pick aside, so everyone gets a turn.<\/p>\n

Of course, first thing first. You need to come up with a list of classroom helper jobs for your class. Here are the top 25 ones that you could use with your students.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Errand Runner<\/li>\n
  2. Attendance Taker<\/li>\n
  3. Lunch Count Helper<\/li>\n
  4. Line Leader\/Caboose<\/li>\n
  5. Door Holder<\/li>\n
  6. Sweeper<\/li>\n
  7. Board Eraser<\/li>\n
  8. Classroom Pet<\/a> Caretaker<\/li>\n
  9. Plant Caretaker<\/li>\n
  10. Class Journal Writer<\/li>\n
  11. Recycling Chief<\/li>\n
  12. Paper Passer Outer<\/li>\n
  13. Paper Collector<\/li>\n
  14. Classroom Librarian<\/li>\n
  15. New Student Ambassador<\/li>\n
  16. News Reporter<\/li>\n
  17. Light Switch Operator<\/li>\n
  18. Computer Helper<\/li>\n

  22. Bulletin Board Helper<\/li>\n
  23. Substitute Assistant<\/li>\n
  24. Weather Tracker<\/li>\n
  25. Homework Checker<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The number of jobs assigned in your class may vary depending on the needs and age of your students. If you have more students than jobs, you could also assign several students to the same job. For example, you can never have enough people monitoring the supply caddies or picking up trash off the floor. Just choose jobs that are important to you and will give students a sense of ownership and responsibility in the classroom<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
