Apple Puzzle

What better way to welcome students to your room than with a board that lets them know how essential they are to the success of the entire class?
  • TF8001- Welcome! Apple Puzzle
  • T10834- Apples Discovery Mini Accent Variety Pack
I used the mini apples as a trimmer for this board since straight border is impossible to use on a circular board. :)

Psychedelic Synonyms

This mini tri-fold is for a center working on synonyms. You could also make this board with antonyms, homonyms, or other phonetic skills.

  • TNT6044-Swirls Library Pockets (Peel & Stick)
  • TNT3542-Pocket Chart Cards Bright (100 count)
  • TNT360-Index Cards 3X5 Colored
  • T46405-Colorful Sparkle Stars Stickers (for self checking)
I wrote synonyms on the index cards and laminated them. On the back I put a star sticker that matches the appropriate pocket for self checking.

Grocery Guide Words

Here is another tri-fold center idea. This one is teaching guide words for dictionary skills as well as alphabetical order.

  • TNT6433-Red Polka Dot Library Pockets (Peel & Stick)
  • T3542-Pocket Chart Cards Bright (100 count)
  • PAC25340-Craft Sticks Regular Size
  • T63337-Snack Foods Stickers
  • T46405-Colorful Sparkle Stars Stickers (for self checking)
I wrote different food words on the sticks that would go between the guide words printed on the front of the pockets. On the back of the stick I put a star sticker in the color that matched the star on the outside of the pocket which allows for self checking.

Pick A Pronoun

Here is one of the most popular tri-folds I've done. This is on a mini tri-fold board, so it's small enough to sit at a table and allow the teacher to still see the students working behind it.
  • 895183-Assorted Mini Tri-Fold Board (Light Blue)
  • TNT6034-Green Polka Dot Library Pockets (Peel & Stick)
  • TNT3542-Pocket Chart Cards Bright (100 count)
  • PAC25340-Craft Sticks Regular Size
  • T46405-Colorful Sparkle Star Stickers (for self-checking)
The polka dot paper behind the title is one of the pockets cut apart. On each stick I put a different noun (also included proper nouns) Then on the back of the stick I put a star sticker that matched one that I put on the outside of the pocket, allowing the student to check their work.
