My partner teacher, Sabrina, has the exact same pocket chart and I have been eying it all year. Most people's mind was automatically tell them to use it for a webbing exercise or brain storming. I, on the other hand, see this as a perfect way to organize my math and science groups. I have two classes of students and I am big into flexible grouping. Using this chart, I can put name cards in each colored circle to indicate each group and simply move their name cards as I need them to switch. I am hanging it in my classroom tomorrow and I can't wait to try it out!

Things I'm Loving: Teacher Edition
This Christmas I got a gift I was head over heels for that most people in the world would not understand. Kason was stumped when I opened the box on Christmas Eve. My parents bought me a pocket chart...yes, a pocket chart!
