As a future teacher I tend to have a love for office supplies--pens, paper clips, binders, dividers, markers, etc, etc. But my new obsession has become Post-its! In class, I stick them to everything. Any shape, size, or color, it doesn't matter. I like to use them when working on my assessments so I know what is expected and how the child performs without writing on the original-keeps it cleaner and neater.I also think it is great for students to use as well. When doing a graphing lesson, students can write their name on the Post-it then put it under the category they want. For example-figuring out the class' favorite ice cream flavor-you list multiple flavors then students come up and place their note under their favorite. It is kinesthetic, visual, as well as allowing the students to choose what they want.
I like having a lot of colors and color coordinating everything-it keeps us teachers organized! Having each color symbolize a subject or a type of lesson could be beneficial when it comes to planning. I myself hate forgetting things so when I see a bright post-it I know I have something that I can't forget. It is important for us to teach our kids to be organized and keep everything straight and the best way to do that is by setting an example :)
Stay organized!
Until Later, Amanda
