Why? Why you ask…
I love the small group engagement that comes from grouping students into “teams”. I can reach them at their level. I can group them with others who have “like” needs.
THEY feel so empowered. They feel so GOOD!
BUT..another small group.
MANAGEMENT can be “terrifying”!
I have found the “TRICK” that makes MY life
SO MUCH EASIER!!!
Yes…it came from AMAZON…But I have NO AFFILIATION..just like their stuff!
HOW DO I USE IT?
I made a MATH FOCAL WALL
(Thank You Keri Brown & Brenda Frady)
and printed them on MAGNETIC PAPER..
yes, in my REGULAR Printer (toner not ink).
NOW…YOU CANNOT use a whiteboard marker on
magnetic paper.
YOU MUST COVER IT.
So HOW DO I “COVER” IT???
REPORT SLEEVES…to the rescue!
Cut them apart into rectangles.
Tape on top!
VOILA!
Eraseable …MAGNETIC..FOCUS WALL
I put it on my side whiteboard.
I LOVE IT!
Here’s the final result(s)…
SO HAPPY!
This helps me get the CALENDAR PORTION of my
Guided Math started.
Then..my kiddos begin
MATH MUST DO’s.
Then, I can pull small groups of kids for
MATH!
