What Are We Using?

When there is more than one adult in a classroom, students have a way of pitting you against one another. "But Mrs. So and So said we could!" I've noticed the biggest problem with this happens with which art supplies we're currently using. My table caddies are super, but they do give students access to all of their supplies simultaneously. Today is a joyous day because I have crafted a solution to the sneaky supply switching! Behold, the visual supply cue:

I created a cue card for every supply scenario I could imagine--markers, glue (stick or bottle), scissors, pencils, and on and on it goes. Each card uses these darling graphics from The Chalkboard Diaries and The Hazel Owl. You can download your own copy on my TeachersPayTeachers store or adapt the idea to fit your needs. Let me know how it works for you! And as always, keep it class-y, ya'll.
