Supply Chart

"What do I need" or "what do I do" seem to be some of the most common phrases in some classrooms. To help prevent this I made a chart that has pictures of the supplies a child will need to complete their work. At the bottom of the chart it says where the work needs to go when it is done and what the child can do when they are done. This could be adapted with words instead of pictures.

Each binder ring has different stars with different supplies. If you only needed one supply for a specific assignment you can flip over the binder ring so it is a blank star.

I like to use tools like this because it helps children who do not learn best by just being told. Many children benefit from seeing what they need. It also serves as a tool for the children to be able to help themselves if they forgot what they need.

This is also something that could be set before the start of a content area so the children know what to get out before the start of the lesson so when they are sent for independent work time they already have out what they need.

I have 20 pre-made stars with the pictures of school supplies in them for free at TpT. There are also two pages of blank stars to add in pictures of supplies used in your classroom.
