3rd Grade Thursday- Sticky note teaching...


It's that time again.. Third Grade Thursday!

Today, I thought I'd share a little bit about how you can use sticky notes with Interactive Anchor Charts!

I bought these awesome sticky notes-- they are super sticky, and not just at the top!!!  I knew they would be perfect to add to any anchor chart when teaching.


Here's what I did...

I knew my kids needed some extra practice with types of sentences.  So, I printed off words to make a tree map.  I decided I needed to focus on only a few types of sentences at a time.  So, I stuck them on some white chart paper to form my tree map.  (You can grab the words to make your own tree map by clicking the picture below.)


I asked my students to give examples of the different types of sentences.  Then, I wrote them and asked where it should go.  

But-----------------------------
If I was in a brick and mortar setting I might pass out the sticky notes to each table and ask each kid to write a sentence.  Then, read it aloud to the class.  Finally, they can place their sticky note sentence where it belongs on the anchor chart.  You might also consider letting their friends decide where it goes.  Turn it into a game.. Just a thought!


The end result:  Don't you just love how colorful it makes the chart!





 I found a million other resources to go with my lesson!!  But, I didn't have time to gather them all for this post.

However, I did have to share this adorable song on Types of Sentences.  So perfect!

Anchor Chart Linky!

 
Don't you just love anchor charts?!?  Well, I do!  So, I was eager to link up with First Grade Fabulosity to share some of my favs!
 
Since we are all thinking of Back to School.. I always do something about colors during my All About Me unit.  We love to graph our favorite colors in Kindergarten!
 

And we also talk about our 5 senses!
 

Then, a little while later we learn to stretch out words!!!  I laminated this chart so I could use it every year!  The kids just use a dry erase marker to write on it and then it wipes right off!  It's the little things.. :)
 
 
And of course we have to include some hands on Anchor Charts!  I love to ask a question and allow my kids to either draw their answer on sticky notes or index cards.  That way, EVERYONE is the participating and held accountable for their learning!
 

The last Anchor Chart I will share today comes from Kim Adsit's blog. She has the pieces for the chart on her blog for free!  This was a huge help when explaining to my kiddos what it meant to do opinion writing- blah!
 
 
That's all for now!  Don't forget to link up and share your Anchor Charts!!!  Sharing is Caring! 
 
Happy Monday!
