‘Work In Progress’ signs, FREE download! Busy children are often expected to stop what they are enthralled with and return the classroom to a tidy state, whether what they are playing with is completed or not. These ‘Work In Progress’ signs I created for children to put on models or construction that they have not yet completed in order to protect what is being built so that others know not to tidy it away. No more anxiety over “but it’s not finished!” and I convey the message that the ideas and creations of a child are respected and viewed as far more important than the tidiness of the room. The idea is working too well for me to not share it, so here is a link to download copies of the resources I have made, help yourselves. #givechildrenownership #workinprogress #simpleyetsignificant #EYFS #reception #letthembelittle #learningthroughplay #makeitfun #activelearning #theteachertraveller #messylearning #funlearning #earlyyears #teacher #learn #littleones #kindergarten #geraldthetravellinggiraffe #teach #explore #noworksheetsallowed

A gorgeous little A5 sheet complete with a poem to show how children have grown! Download and print your poem sheet, then measure your class children with string. Add the string to the sheet and you have a special little keepsake for parents and carers :) I have included a photo to show what mine look like completed. The download includes 6 poem sheets, two have ‘Reception Class, 2017’ included, two have ‘Reception Class, 2018’ and two are blank. Have fun, The Teacher Traveller
