Made for Math: Posters

My classroom is filled with the standard white concrete walls, plus a couple bulletin boards.  I like to have something up at the beginning of the year so it doesn't look totally boring, but still leave plenty of space for student work, student art and topic-specific information (this year it will just be vocab words in my school mandated word wall).  So, I browsed pinterest, nabbed some quotes from Anna and found images from my dropbox folder I wanted fresh copies of.

The Cone of Learning from the 3rd slide is for a lesson on study skills that I used last year and plan to do again. **Edit (8/6/12 7:30 pm) I just found out the Cone of Learning has no basis in research.  Debating if I should white out the percents or toss it entirely.

I also found these two comics:

All of the pages in color I printed at Staples (I don't use enough color ink at home to justify the expense and the one color printer at school is sooooo slooooow).  So of course, I walked around and bought a few things while I was there!

Penny folders (limit of 10, even for teachers) for homework- trying a binder system this year that I'll share once I have an actual plan.  My favorite pens for half price.  Tape since I'm planning to do foldables and flappers that will need to get taped into the binders.  Sheet protectors also half price, one per student to use as personal dry erase boards.
