It's been so busy with school back in session that I completely forgot to reveal the sneak peak. Sorry! Here is what I made out of the pieces.
I made monitoring flip charts. I saw this idea somewhere and made it my own. I have a beach theme in my classroom so these fit in perfectly. The cover of the chart says, "Mapping My Course" (like a treasure map).
The next page says, "Smooth Sailing." The green sailboat symbolizes the student is completely understanding a concept being taught (if we're working whole group) or that they are fine working (if working independently).
The next page says, "Slow Going." If a student flips to this page it means they mostly understand a concept being taught (whole group) or that they can work on something independently but have a question about part of the assignment (if working independently).
The last page simply says, "Stuck." That's self explanatory. :)
I'm hoping to use these flip books to monitor student understanding and to monitor independent work time. I stuck with green, yellow, and red because the students know what those colors mean. We'll see how this goes. :)
