Pocket Chart Pete



Did you buy a million little pocket charts in the Target Dollar Spot? I have been purchasing them for several years now and I love using them for a variety of purposes. Our kids love to play "teacher" and this provides an opportunity to do just that. I create "mini" sentence strips for them to build sentences that we have practiced whole group. They can read these with a pointer (bet you bought those too) to a partner in a soft voice. This also goes with other pieces in the big packet I have on TpT. I love how this teaches them concepts of print and ending a sentence with a period. I will be posting other ideas for those mini pocket charts soon because I love them so much. Don't you? Here is a free download of this activity.Click here and check out the other freebies!

    Fran, I am so jealous of your pocket chart find. :) Did you find them this year? I live in TN, and our local Target just put out all the $1 teacher items at the beginning of this week. I'm still hoping to find them before school starts on July 27th. YIKES!

    I just got back from Target and bought 15 pocket charts! I am so excited. I am going to make sentences today and start printing away.
