Learning Targets

This year my principal wanted all teachers to post their teaching objectives, or "Learning Targets" in their classrooms.  He wanted to be able to walk into a room and know what the students were learning.  He also wanted to be able to ask any child and they would be able to tell him what they are learning.

I ended up using a pocket chart to display mine.  You know, the ones that have velcro on the bottom and can attach another onto the bottom to make it bigger?

I made "I can..." sentence starters and taped them to the outside of each pocket.  There is plenty of room to write out my objective or standard onto a full sentence strip.  Woo hoo to not having to cut the sentence strips to a particular size.  That would have been annoying.

I also made a cute little sign to put next to the pocket chart from the Target store sign.  My brand new sister in law works at Target.  Do you think this could be taken as subliminally marketing towards children?  If so, oh well - I love Target! :)  I just thought the kids will have seen this sign before and it will help them remember it.

I have the entire 8-page document for free on my Teachers Pay Teachers page.  Head on over and grab it for use in your classroom, as well!  Here it also is on Google Docs in case you are not a TpT member.
