Scholastic Teacher's FriendColors in Photos Mini Bulletin Board, Multiple Colors (TF8090)

I like having several items that represent the colors but I would prefer if the label had a bigger font. I had to make new labels for the colors in a font size that’s appropriate for my little ones to see from their seats.

I bought this to make an instant sorting center on colors. I specifically wanted a set that included teal because kids in general struggle with the green/blue sorting since there is such a range of colors. By including teal, it helps kids see a middle ground and better ground understanding in that color range. I had to put more work into the set than expected though.First, the pieces pop out and leave these paper bumps which I needed to cut off.Second, the pieces are thin and would not last in a learning center so I had to laminate then cut out every piece.Third, the purple title is so red in color that it does not look purple to most students - they say the purple title is red or pink. Since all the purple examples are more blue in color, this does cause confusion. I will need to make my own purple title that is more purple than red in color to correct this issue.Fourth, the grey sneaker is dark enough that kids think its really black and so much darker than the pale grey rock and rabbit, that it is very difficult to convince kids that it really is grey. If the sneaker was lightened in color, it would be much easier for students to sort correctly.Lastly, the turquoise rock is shaped like an egg so kids think its an egg when it is not. I probably should have cut it into a more natural rock shape before laminating it. Personally the manufacturer should replace it with a more natural turquoise rock that has NOT been carved into an egg shape.

I love the real-life appearance of the pictures/photographs, as they help students relate to colors in their world. I'm sure the kids will love them in the new classroom! I also like the color words that the students can reference, especially that they are not written in the colors they coordinate with. In other words, I don't want the students to just associate "pink" as being written in the color "pink". I think this bulletin board set is very unique and I love all the different photos. I wasn't exactly sure why teal was included, but I love the photos!

I am a childcare provider ages 2-6. This is perfect for what I wanted. Spread out the pictures on the floor and have the children put the correct colors together with the name of color. I also have colored buckets for the pictures to go in. I also use these when we are focusing on one color to out that group on the wall. Just what I wanted!

I'm using these on the wall in a toddler room and the kids love them. Definitely plan on laminating them, the paper is rather thin.

I thought the pictures were going to be too big for the wall in my classroom, but they are actually a perfect size! Each picture is about 3x3 or 4x4.

very strong in color. sometimes you order these sets and the colors are not as bright as they appear but this set was

Perfect :-)

ME gustó el material, de buen tamaño para poder colocarlo en una área del salón sin ser bromoso
