"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Make & Take Monday

Classroom Pointers
Pointers are great to use in the classroom. You could use them for pointing to pocket charts ... words on the word wall ... at circle time .... as a "magic wand" during transitions ... the possibilities are endless.They are really easy and inexpensive to make and look really cute when they are finished.

To make them you will need ... foam shapes (or other items) ... wood dowels ... a hot glue gun and glue sticks ... paint and paint brushes ... and collage materials.

Paint the wood dowels and let them dry. Next glue on the foam shape (or other item) using a hot glue gun and let set. Add other collage materials as desired.

You can make pointers for each season, to go with your unit of study, or alphabet or number pointers. You can use pencil toppers, wooded objects, large foam shapes, etc. What fun! And simple too!
