Our First Mini Offices
Posted by Cindy on July 26, 2007
Here’s a look at our first-ever mini offices. Mahayla made her own. I made Caleb’s. He is very excited about these, which was quite a shocker to me. I expected Mahayla to be the excited one as she loves this sort of thing.
I wrote a post earlier with links to pictures and print-offs for mini offices. I found just about everything I copied from those sites.
Mahayla’s Language Arts Office includes lots of writing helps and editing reminders, and a parts of speech chart.
Her Math Office includes – oops, a cursive chart! – a multiplication table, measurement equivalencies and conversions, a Roman Numerals chart, a place value chart, a reminder of radius vs. diameter, word problem key words, and a US map (because we didn’t know where else to put it.)
Caleb’s Reading Office includes sound reminders for all letters and many blends, a phonics rules charts, manuscript and cursive charts, an editing checklist, a punctuation chart and some tips for writing good paragraphs.
His Math Office includes a 100 chart, a coin chart, an ordinal numbers chart, perimeter vs. area reminders, a skip counting chart, spellings of the days of the week and months of the year, and that pesky US map.
Amy,
Everything I used I found free around the web. Many of the links can be found on this post – http://ourjourneywestward.com/tag/mini-offices/.
I love the resource folders for students to utilize as references. Do you have these available to to share?
Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll look into how to do that.
Hi there. I really found this post very useful! I am trying to create these for my 1st grader and my 4th grader. May I make a suggestion? I would have loved to click on the images to be able to see them full size and up close. Surely, I can’t be the only one who would love to see those details.
Thanks again for posting this.
