I have been practically dancing through the school supply aisles.
I just love buying brand new markers, notebooks, crayons, pencils and paint. I
find all sorts of things that I didn’t even know I needed...
At Walmart, I found this clipboards for $1.44. I bought 5
of them to use in my Work on Writing area. I am setting up this area for kids
to come and get their supplies, then they can go back to their desk to write or
find a different spot in the room to work. Then, I got the idea to make a
little writing clipboard for the kids to reference. Since I will be teaching
kindergarten, I wanted something super simple for the beginning of the year. I used
this great Alphabet Chart from Tammy at Live, Love, Laugh Everyday in
Kindergarten. Click HERE to see her post and pick up the alphabet chart. Make sure you leave her a comment! : )
I attached the alphabet chart with clear contact paper from
Mardel ($2.99 a roll.)
As the year goes on I will probably add more information to
the writing clipboard, but for now I think the alphabet chart will be the most
helpful. When I create a new reference page for the clipboard I will make sure
and share : )
What types of supplies do you keep in your writing center?
I hope everyone had a great weekend!
