POST IT FLAGS ARE THE BEST FLAGS TO USE. I OFTEN USE THEM WHEN MARKING PAGES IN MY COLLECTIBLES BOOKS & NOTES. THEY STAY ON THE PAGES & ARE EASY TO REMOVE.
This may seem like a strange use but, my granddaughter is afraid to use auto-flushing toilets. She was starting kindergarten this year and the school has auto-flushing toilets. Placing a Post-it Flag over the sensor keeps it from flushing while she is on the toilet. Problem solved with the help of a Post-it Flag.
I just love the flags! I use them to mark in teacher manuals and in my Bible for special passages. It is so easy to find what I want and need.I can even color code for lesson plans and subjects in my BIble.
I have made identifying reading groups for adults entering my room a piece of cake. I have color groups to start. Red, yellow, green, and blue. Red is below grade level, yellow is in need of an intervention, green is at grade level, and blue is above grade level.
I label everything with the correct color flag. Everything includes: journals, guided readers, independent reading books, assignments, centers, and there is a chart on the wall. No matter if the principal, literacy coach, other staff or volunteers come in, they can easily gather their materials and head off with their students. I do not label the groups by ability and use only first names.
The flags are priceless and can be used over and over again. Misskathaleen
i read quite a bit, i flag everything that i want to refresh my mind on in the future - different colors mean different ideas/quotes/inspirations etc...
