pocket charts
By Sandy

I teach a two-year K4 and K5 class. I use pocket charts for all sorts of things. My new discovery is a small 12-pocket jewelry organizer I found at the 99 cent store. I have 6 of them set up at various spots in the room.
They are only about 12" x 18" and I use sticky-backed velcro to adhere them to the front of my desk, the side of a cabinet, the closet door, etc. I put sets of skill cards out with each one for a workshop (center). For example, in one I put 12 capital letters and the child inserts the matching lowercase letter in the appropriate pocket. One chart has lowercase letters and the skill is to

insert a card with a picture that begins with that letter or has that vowel sound in it. In math I put number cards in the pockets and the match-up cards hves a number sets on them. The possibilities are endless. Hope these ideas help. Good luck!
