Does anyone else have this problem? I love pocket charts and have way too many in my room. I cannot control this addiction. This is the story of Thanksgiving (my version) done as a flow map. I love just putting arrows on the side of my cards but the last one should not have any arrow (woops!). Now is my version historically correct? No way but it makes a great story and I know I am reinventing the truth but our unit this month is "Friends"and I could not resist. This goes along with Dr. Jean's retelling bracelet which we make every year because I L*O*V*E it so much. It is a brilliant idea. More about that tomorrow. Assessments need to be charted and I have to force myself...
I have pocket chart obsession as well! Just ask my colleagues...ahhh! Oh well, I love them and they are absolutely easy to use when organizing...well, almost everything! I just uploaded my First Thanksgiving unit to TpT. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Learning-about-The-First-Thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteYour flow chrt would work great with it. Is it something you can share?
Thanks for sharing the idea!

I am sure that I am a member of the Pocket Charts Anonymous group as well. I love this flow map for the story of the first Thanksgiving, and the arrows are a perfect addition! Are these available to purchase?

How can anyone tolerate one more turkey activity from me? I feel like I have beaten this to death! Seriously!

I love pocket charts too! We have so many hanging around the house, it's like a sick obsession!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had more room for large pocket charts! I have 2 that I use for poems and word work. Then I bought the little Target ones and I am hanging them from the chalkboard tray on hooks. I have had your Pete the Cat sentence building and other things in them.
ReplyDeleteSo great!
Looks like everyone loves your Thanksgiving story cards! There are soooo many Thanksgiving units out there right now, but clearly nothing like these! I also went to Dr. Jean's and copied the bracelet directions down. Really great! Thanks for the tip!
I love these! Are they for sale in your TPT store? They would work so well for my SDC kinders. PLEASE let me know!

Love how your arrows create an instant flow map. Genius idea! Thanks for sharing. : )
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! I use the bracelet story too but would love to use this flow chart as well. Where can I find it?
ReplyDeleteI am a pocket chart addict too! I thought I was the only one! Our target this week is to recall and retell, what a great way for them to do this! Would love to have a copy if you could post it! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteL♥VE these, Fran!!!!! GREAT idea!!! I might have to whip some up!!! ;)Thanks for sharing:)
