Not only are Pocket Charts helpful for teaching …they are amazing at keeping the classroom organized. Here are a few ways teachers have used our pocket charts to organize their Classrooms!
These Teachers use their Pocket Charts to help represent who is in which Station/center and the station/centers task are. The Teacher on the right keeps the task/items for that station in the corresponding bins below.
Do you have a student that missed a day? What a better to keep track of what all they might have missed and have to make up. You already have that days assignments printed off for the students to grab and take home and work on.
Using a larger Pocket Chart You can create a mail center for your students. Where they can feel comfortable asking/telling you something they are nervous about discussing in front of others. They can ask you a question about something that was discussed in the class prior, that they would like you to go over more. Your students can turn things into you through the mail center and you can leave them stickers or a new pencil for class. The mail center is great for so many reasons!
Bulletin Boards are not just to display artwork or to add a bit of color. They are a perfect place to add small pocket charts. These teachers used theirs to help display vocabulary words of the week, paperwork for their kids to get while reading their books during quite time and so much more.
These Job Responsibility Chart are a different type of pocket chart for teachers to make. Using Terrific Pockets you can create a chart just like these.
