I don't know about you, but I am haunted by things that are free. Two of my biggest haunts - FedEx envelopes and paint swatches. Paint swatches, in particularly, are like sirens calling my name at Home Depot and Lowe's. I can barely walk by the paint section without caressing a colored swatch and dreaming how (or why?) I need a swatch collection. Must be genetic, little O loves them, too.
Pick a color.....
Convenient way to group students (Thank you, Linda, Nathan and Jordyn)....
Choose a swatch.....
Colorful way to debrief a lesson with exit tickets.....
Pick up some of the multi-color paint swatches.....handy for mini-KWLs.....
And mini-KWLS....
Mickey friends, I bet you have a way to put these to teaching and learning use.....
Fabulous blog reader (or follower), what clever ideas do you have for paint swatches? Are there free items that haunt you? As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Please use the comments section below (no password required, so comment away - Yippee!).
UPDATE: Here's another idea how to use paint swatches.
Best,
Jen
