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?
Oh I LOVE the idea of putting the date up with magnetic numbers! SO cute! Where 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!
I'm looking forward to incorporating more student work into displays!
