Reading Post-it

Estimated Time: 20-30 minutes
Description: Students have Post-it® Note squares beside them while reading. As my students read, instead of making notes directly in the book, they write it on a Post-it and place it next to the place in the book. They are free to write things that make them remember something else (making connections), important facts or details, and different parts of the story (beginning, problem, solution). Reading comprehension has greatly improved!

Description: The day before a test in U.S. History, we do a "parking lot" review using post-it notes. I draw a parking lot sketch on the board, and give each student a Post-it®. He or she will write a term or terms which they have still unsure about. They put their name at the bottom of the note and "park" it on the board. As they park their note, they can pick up another student's post, and answer it, and take it out of the lot. I pick up the remaining notes and clarify them in class. It gets students out of their seats, and has them help each other. If a number of notes have the same vocabulary term or idea, I make a mental note to spend more time on it the next chance I have to teach that unit.

Description: Students come to group with pencils, clipboards and Post-it® Notes. Teacher does a read aloud of a picture book, stressing a specific reading strategy. Periodically, teacher prompts students to stop and jot down the strategy they used. Then, students meet in table groups and use their post-its to discuss the book and the strategy. Then, students use their Post-its to complete a thinking map (graphic organizer).

Estimated Time: 20-30 minutes
Description: The students will read a piece of non-fiction material and as they read they will write comments about how they can relate to each item and post it on the page until we discuss the piece as a class. While discussing the piece each child will bring his/her post-it up and after telling the class about his/her thought will post it on a large piece of tablet paper and then we can use these to review the piece. It is a great way for all students to participate in the selection, be able to interact with the selection and turn it into how it relates to his/her real life experiences.

Description: There are so many ways that I use Post-it® Notes. One of my favorite is on-going and is used at any time of the day during all areas of curriculum. It allows my students to practice independence. Post-it notes are always readily available for when students need them for multiple purposes. They use them to mark book levels, to add words to our word wall, and on and on and on. The emphasis is on the way it helps children feel independent and have ownership for their learning and classroom.
