Funded Dec 29, 2012Thank you very much for the donation to our classroom! We use the pocket charts every day. My students get very excited when they are at the pocket chart rotation during our different workshops.
We have a math workshop every day. During math workshop, the students visit the math in minutes pocket chart. I watch them do their best to answer all 9 questions in the pocket chart. Sometimes I even hear them discussing with one another why a particular answer is correct or incorrect. It's great to hear them talking about math! This pocket chart has helped them facilitate those discussions.
We also have an English/language arts workshop every day. While I work with a small group, the other small group usually gets to work with the pocket charts. Most recently, they have been working on matching compound words. It's great to hear and see them working with each other to figure out which words match together correctly. Besides compound words, they have also done work with contractions, synonyms, antonyms, homophones, nouns and prefixes. It's great to be able to utilize the pocket charts in many different ways to benefit student learning.
Once again, thank you for your donation. It has greatly impacted the learning in my classroom!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Schellie
