Creating working learning charts

I've recently started making learning charts with my kids to help and record their learning. Some are done in advance of a lesson but some are done with the class too. Useful to then have on the wall so they can refer back to it.

Been spending tonight doing my first activity in preparation for starting diploma at uni in few weeks. Managed to then side track onto looking at how I do my reading groups. I do a different group on each day so I can spend more time with them - tried it first time this year and find it works well but want to make what the other groups do more structures during that time. Will put up resources once I've gone through it more.

Pupil learning record

I want my kids to have a record of what levels they are at and what they need to do to improve. As much as it can't be fun, I at least wanted it to look fun and interesting so made this sheet. I am going to have it in a folder that they can refer to when needed and also that they can add things too. You can click on the picture to download it from TPT.

To do/Reminder page

I'm forever writing to do lists on post it notes and bits of paper as always need to write things down. Decided it was time to make a nicer page to write this down so at least the to do list would look pretty. You can click on the picture to download it.

Real fake word sorting owls

Here are some owls I made for sorting out real and fake words. I laminated them and stuck them on brown paper bags. The kids then had to sort through the real and fake words and put them in the correct bag. I will give them  new words each week for this station. Click on the picture to download it.

We are learning signs

I made these signs as I decided to make use of the flip charts I make in class by having them up on display for the duration of that learning. So I made these signs using some fab clip art from Hazel Owl Graphics. Definitely getting the spring look going. You can click on the picture to download the file.

Transparent backgrounds

I love learning new tricks using tech and this has to be one of my favourites. Head over to http://sssteaching.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/teacher-tech-tip-transparent-background.html?m=1 to find out how to do this...it's so easy!

Charlotte's Web fact or opinion

I've been reading Charlotte's Web with my class. We have been learning about pigs and spiders through the book as well as through other reading tasks. I'm going to look at fact and opinion using pigs and spiders as the stimulus. I've made these little pictures which I will photocopy and cut out. The kids will then write a statement on the pig or spider and it will go on a display either on the fact or opinion side. Ideas like fact: a spider has 8 legs, opinion: a spider is scary.
