Congratulations to Lindsay Flood for winning the giveaway! I found out that Lindsay is actually a blogger too! I've seen her blog, but didn't put two and two together until I emailed her! I'm terrible with getting blog names and real names linked in my mind. Primary Polka Dots is her adorable (and bright) blog! Go check it out if you get a chance! Lindsay, I hope you enjoy those word wall letters and the Fry Word Mega Pack! :) Thanks to everyone who entered! | |
I recently posted a new product that I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. I use these in my own room and it makes things SOOOOO much easier.
I've never had a formal name for them, so I just came up with 'Mini Material Posters.'
Basically, you use them to SHOW your students what materials they need for an activity. Being an EFL teacher, I do a lot (more like a ton) of repeating myself. These little cards make it less frustrating when we're transitioning.
I put the cards up... they get out the materials. Done.
For example, if we're doing a craft then I might post scissors, glue, crayons, pencil, and construction paper.
They see what they need to get out and I don't waste time repeating myself eight million times.
You get two full sets of cards (large and small), blanks to make your own, and three different titles if you need them. All of the graphics were designed by me and they are 300dpi, so they print beautifully. I put a lot of love and time into these. They're simple, bright, and my lifesavers.

I included some blank binders & books in case you want to customize.

You can hang them with clips, put them in a pocket chart, or stick a little magnet on the back of each. I usually just use them during whole group activities, but you could incorporate them into centers or even use them as supply vocab cards. :)
See on TPTI may or may not be giving a set of these away over on
Facebook (Aug.9). Join in to win!
I've also added a lot more classrooms to the 'Room Setup' page recently! You'll have to check them out if you're still needing some inspiration. There are some cool rooms and I just love looking at all the different ones.
Check Out the New Rooms.
Oh. One more thing. Have you seen
Cara's schedule card set? Wowza. They're free, beautiful, and she's added everything under the sun. If you download them, be sure to leave her some love and feedback. I know she's spent hours upon hours creating these and making them perfect. She had a TON of requests to add cards and she was generous enough to keep them free.
Get Cara's Schedule Cards.Ok! That's all from me today! Remember to check out the
Facebook page to try and win a set of my mini material posters! It's a 'First one to guess...' type giveaway, so hurry!
