Looking to provide your students with easy to understand hand signals? These are for you!
I use these posters in my first grade classroom & they work wonders! Let me tell you a few reasons why I love them so much!
- They eliminate interruptions (Example: I can see Johnny holding up 3 fingers, indicating he needs a drink so I show him a thumbs up and continue with my teaching)
- Along with #1, they save so much time. A quick hand signal and thumbs up/ thumbs down answers their question within a couple seconds.
- They create a safe space. Some children do not like to ask certain things in front of the entire class, so these hand signals allow them to ask these things with the comfort of having some privacy!
- Multicultural: Inviting and welcoming to ALL students!
WHAT IS INCLUDED:
3 sets to choose from! Noneditable with clipart, noneditable without clipart & completely editable!
The hand signals indicate these questions/ concerns or can be edited to meet the needs of your classroom:
- pencil
- restroom
- water
- tissue
- help
- nurse
- more time
- I'm ready
