S.M.A.R.T. NEWSLETTER - Nov. '19 S.M.A.R.T. Spaces

Let’s face it most early childhood and elementary teachers love decorating their classrooms. (Or are you in the pool of those who do not?) Either way, decorating can be time consuming and we know ALL educators are short on time. So then, how do we decorate to ensure our time is well spent and the decorations have a function?

​We like to use Tactile Trackers/Vision Trackers to put the FUN into “fun”ctional! Tactile Trackers/Vision Trackers mature eye movements and support the scanning skills critical for reading fluency. Knowing you’re short on time we have created these trackers for you.

• Elementary teachers can print and hang
• Early childhood teachers print, add glue dots, and then hang them up when the glue has dried

 
Be sure to read this month’s Time Saving Tip section for more FUNctional ideas!
