Hodge Podge of Good Stuff

 

My little ones enjoyed using some of the winter pocket chart activities that I made.. They loved them! And I love that I can hand them a bag and they get excited for a little “pocket chart time” with a friend. A win for both of us!

Here are two girls doing the number word match. I asked how it was.. and they said “It was easy but it took a long time.” They were probably there less than 10 minutes. I hardly think that is a long time!

This is the match the sentence to the picture activity. This was a GREAT activity and I will be making more of these. It made them think, sound out words, and engaged them working with a partner to figure out the matches. It was a success.

You can buy these in my Teachers Pay Teachers store. It’s a set of pocket chart/winter centers.

Winter Centers/Pocket Chart Activities

I did not make recording sheets to go with this unit. I didn’t because they are perfect pocket chart activities. Of course, they can be used on a table or on the floor. No need for a pocket chart if you don’t have one.

7 quick things about me:

{1} My birthday is coming up.. January 17th!

{2} The first thing I do when I get home from school each day is put on a pair of pajama pants then pour myself a BIG glass of cold, ice tea!

{3} I love glitter.

{4} I have been married 10 1/2 years. It feels like about 2 years.

{5} I own a stationery business- Doodle Bugs Paper - that I started in 2003. Believe it or not I consider it my first job and teaching is my second job. I spend way more hours processing stationery than working on school work.

  10. I LOVE your blog. I appreciate that you show all of your items in the packets you sell. I buy them every week to every other week! Thank you for allowing your followers to download the corresponding worksheets for free. You have a loyal customer of me. I check back each week. Getting ready to buy your winter centers now! One question, what type of printer do you use? How much ink do you go through just for the classroom...not your business?
