Tabletop Desktop Pocket Chart

Worked great in my class!

Very productive! Love using these for centers.

I have a preschool aged child who doesn’t actually learn anything at school (mind blowing, right!?! What am I paying for exactly? Oh right, crummy snacks and some playtime at a park...). But I digress. I needed a pocket chart for some home schooling activities and don’t have the room for something large and didn’t want to spend too much money on something that might not have worked for my kid (we’re talking 3 yr old here, likes and dislikes change before breakfast is over). I’ve put this chart board to good use and here are my findings:1. When open, it stands 12 inches high which is a good height for desk or table top use, even for a very young child.2. It folds in the bottom center and appears to just be cardboard or card stock or something inside to keep its form. It is very lightweight and folds easily but can be a little flimsy in the standing up. If you were really playing around or moving it, it could potentially collapse. However, it’s definitly sturdy enough that you can use it regularly and it stays in place just fine. My 2 and 3 yr old both use it without knocking it over.3. The pockets have held up in place even with my little ones pulling and jamming cards in them. We’ve been using this multiple times a day for over a month now.4. Bigger flash cards will fit in the pockets but will probably be so tall they’ll block any cards in pockets above them. I have cut a 3 by 5 notecard in half to reduce height (and because I’m cheap) and using that for my notes in the pockets. I wanted more permanent notes than using the dry erase sheets it came with so hence the notecards usage.5. The dry erase sheets seem fine. They fit nicely and work as expected. They’re like a glossy cardstock essentially.Based on how frequently I’m using this, I’m definitely glad I made this purchase. I think it fits my needs perfectly. I would recommend it to others looking for a small pocket chart.

I have a very small classroom this year with no whiteboard - I usually like to use a slightly bigger pocket chart (think the ones from Dollar Tree teacher section) that I can use magnets to hang up but couldn't do that this year. A bigger one was also out of the question in my small space. This works perfectly for my small space I have to work with. It is a bit flimsy but I couldn't really expect more for the price - if I'm the one primarily using it to build words while students follow along with mini tiles at their desks, then I think it will last me just fine.

This is a perfect display for teachers to use for stickers. I reward students with stickers for going up to the board and this is a great way to show them.

Despite this being made for classroom as dry erase board thing for teachers this worked really great for me as a sticker display at my outdoor vending events. I was having trouble finding a solution that worked well outside with high winds. I got some clear plastic displays meant for business cards but they STILL fell over in the wind and my stickers got scattered causeing me to panic! However this was perfect! I just put some heavy rocks in the tent bottom and the clear plastic pockets kept my stickers in place even in the wind and yet made them visable and easy to get to for potential customers! I only wish the pockets were a bit deeper to make me feel more secure XD but really nothing flew away and it was pretty windy at my last event so I think they are sufficient!

The media could not be loaded. As a teacher who is always moving from class to class, this size is great. It's small and portable enough that I can easily carry it from classroom to classroom with all my other materials. It's double sided so I can easily display what I need. Great for small group instruction. It fits on any desk easily.

Purchased for grands for homeschool.
