Jobs chart for classroom helpers

This jobs chart for classroom helpers is a packet of 34 chart pages that you print and fill in with your own class jobs. Each page has a Classroom Jobs Chart heading and a set of labeled or empty boxes for the helpers you rotate through the week.

It is a tool for teachers who run a job system in their room and want a ready-made board to post. 18 pages have job names printed and 16 pages have empty boxes for jobs you write yourself.

What’s on the pages

Every chart page has a different layout, with its own border colors, stars and small decorations around the boxes. A page holds anywhere from 4 to 10 job spots, so you can pick the size that matches your class. The pages with only four boxes have large, wide spaces, which makes the job names easy to read from the back of the room.

If you are looking for classroom jobs chart ideas, the printed job names are a good place to start. They are the ones teachers hand out most often:

• Line Leader, Line Ender, Caboose and Door Holder for moving through the hallway.
• Paper Monitor, Paper Passer, Messenger and Librarian for handing out and carrying things.
• Calendar Helper, Weather Reporter and Lights Monitor for the daily routine.
• Cabinet Inspector, Desk Helper, Supply Manager, Clean-Up Crew and Tech Helper for keeping the room in order.

Four pages add a small drawing next to each job name, such as a door, a calendar, a light bulb, an envelope, a broom and a train for the caboose. The drawings help early readers match a name to a job.

How to use a jobs chart for classroom routines

Print a chart with names already on it if your jobs are the usual ones. The empty pages work as a classroom jobs chart template: print one when you want to write your own job titles, add a child’s name beside each box, or leave room to change the list each week.

Here are a few ways to put the pages to work:

• Post one chart by the door and another by the board, so helpers know where to look each morning.
• Write student names on small paper strips and place one beside every job.
• Print two different charts and use one for the first half of the week and one for the second.
• Let children fill in the empty boxes themselves, which gives a quick writing task for early finishers.
• Leave a printed chart for a substitute so the class keeps its routine.

A jobs chart for classroom use works best when the list is short and the jobs rotate. Start with the 6 to 8 jobs your class needs most, and add more once children know the routine.
