Organizing Your SGM Materials for the New School Year

As another school year winds down, I am reminded of what I always loved about teaching: There was always another year to plan to engage children, change approaches, learn new techniques, and grow as a professional!

As you pack up supplies and begin a few weeks of rest, file this idea away with your materials to consider implementing next year. This picture is an idea that Natalia Kofman, a colleague of mine in Westfield, MA, used to organize her SGM^® materials in her fourth grade classroom.

What I liked about it so much was that is was easy to change maps to correspond to your goals for specific groups of students. The cardboard display poster and plastic pockets can be ordered online and can be EASILY moved to different locations / student groups within the classroom.

This method also lends itself to teachers who travel from room to room. If you have other ways that you organize your SGM^® materials, please share them on our MindWing Concepts Facebook page.

Thank you Natalia, for letting us share this idea!
