Wordless Wednesday! July 23: The BIGGER, the Better!
Today I'm linking up with Miss DeCarbo at Sugar and Spice for Wordless Wednesday!
This picture is a little old, before I got cutie patootie owl schedule cards to match my theme, but I digress... I have always liked using magnetic numbers to show the date. I think they look neater than writing, and let's be real... anything to save me a minute writing on the board every day? I'll take it! I also sometimes use the set of magnetic numbers for math demonstrations, etc.
The only problem with my board numbers was that they were way too SMALL. I am really lucky to have a big classroom, and I want to make sure that the kids can see the date easily, as they have to write it relatively often. Same goes for math demos... bigger is definitely better. So I finally bit the bullet this summer and ordered THESE:
It's Lakeshore's GIANT Magnetic Numbers & Operations Kit. I ordered it for $29.99. I love that it comes with counters and symbols along with the numbers. Perfect! And it's BIG!
What are you looking to improve around your classroom this year?
I'm looking forward to incorporating more student work into displays!

Oh I LOVE the idea of putting the date up with magnetic numbers! SO cute!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find your sight word magnets??? Those are great too!
I am looking forward to creating a student work display with scrapbooking paper and clothespins...I am also looking forward to making my rom look more cohesive with new border trim!
Great post- thanks for sharing! :)

Hmm... I think I got the sight word magnets from Lakeshore as well, although I've had those for several years. I love the idea of a student work display with scrapbooking paper. I saw something like that on Pinterest. I am only in my room for one more year before I move classrooms (same grade and school, new room)... so not sure how much I want to do to change up the room this year!
