Displaying Objectives

It's a snow day everyone! My favorite kind of Monday :) :) :) Since I'm currently snuggled under a fuzzy throw, I thought I'd share with y'all how I've been displaying my objectives this year. It's been working really well for me so maybe it will help y'all too. These objectives are for my fifth grade class, but the way I display them will work for any grade. I teach reading/language arts/spelling, so that's why there's no objectives for math, science, or social studies. I have one objective and one essential question for each day. When I start planning for my week, I start out by writing the objective for each day of the week. This helps me plan activities for the day and I'll know that if I have a surprise observation, my objective and essential question directly correlates to what I'm teaching. 

I struggled early this year with finding a way to displaying every common core standard that we would be covering each week. I don't know how it is with other reading series, but with Scott Foresman Reading Street, there's a TON for each week. After talking about it with our instructional coach, I decided to use the target skills and strategies. These are laid out nice and neatly for each story on the very first page of each TE of Reading Street (Common Core Version)

I sectioned off boxes on my whiteboard and labeled each box. Each week I write the target skills and strategies and also include the CCRS in each box. 

I use to display my objectives on this pocket chart, which I LOVE. It fit perfectly between my target skills and strategies and my SmartBoard, but it was just too much trouble to drag out the sentence strips, write the objective and essential question for each day and place them in the pocket chart, then change them out each day. So, I sadly took the pocket chart down and simply wrote the objective and essential question on the white board next the the titles/headings. It doesn't look as pretty, which I'm trying to forget about it because it is MUCH easier this way. 

I've started writing my essential question on this little pink white board that's magnetic. I can quickly write the question and display it and the kids know exactly where to find it since it sticks out. 

(I used my beloved Cameo to create the title)

Maybe this helps you get a little idea of how I display CCRS correlated objectives and target skills in my classroom. It's working really well for me so maybe it will for you too!

Happy Monday!
