3M Post It: Super Sticky Large Format Notes

Succeeding a sluggish and pretty nearly non start Post It Note Pads today are found nationwide in loads of shapes, colors, and design uses. 3M Post It: Super Sticky Large Format Notes are used in my classroom a lot for math work.

I find a the product details listed on Epinions site per the Super Sticky large size to be POST-IT: Super Sticky™ Large Format Notes Super Sticky™ Lined Notes 8 x 6 45 Sheets per Pad 4 Pads per Pack.

I believe the 8 X 6 to be a generous assessment, the super stickys large format I find are standard 8 X 5. 3M offers several types of Super Sticky in larger sizes including 3 X 5, 4 X 6 and 8 X 5, in various color combinations and standard yellow as well as lined and unlined.

The 3M Post It: Super Sticky Large Format Notes are not always available at our local Wal Mart. I quickly buy a package when I do find them. Packs come in lined and unlined, notes.

Depending on what we are doing in the classroom I have used notes of each of the sizes offered as well as in the lined and unlined types. The 8 X 5 notes are pricey, generally in the $11 -13 range, so we do not use them daily in our classroom. We do use them often enough that the kids are thrilled with size and bright colors, but not so often that they become old hat.

The package I find most often sold at Wal Mart is POST-IT: Super Sticky™ Large Format Notes Super Sticky™ I have found lined and unlined Notes. The large size notes are offered in various colors, yellow, fushia, lime, orange are the ones I have found most often, with 45 Sheets per 8 X 5 Pad. Generally there will be 3 - 6 Pads per Pack, 1 of each of the four neon colors or other color variations.

I have found 3M Post It: Super Sticky Large Format Notes at Wal Mart, and have seen them at Staples. They are available at several sites online should you want them and are not able to locate them in your local shops.

The 3M Post It: Super Sticky Large Format Notes are just that, large in addition to being good and sticky; making them ideal for use as a post it on the chest of Little Person.

The large size and neon color is very noticeable; the Super Sticky adhesive keeps the post it in place for a longer period. Little people seem to be driven to reposition the note several times.

OSAGE COUNTY FIRST GRADE Pi/PIE DAY

3M Post It: Super Sticky Large Format Notes are used in my classroom particularly for math projects and just recently to help us celebrate 3.14 Pi/pie day.

3M Post It: Super Sticky Large Format Notes are offered in various colors making them excellent for our math projects.

Osage County First Grade eyed the Π symbol as we turned our calendar to March, it was written on Friday, March 14. Soon we began a discussion of math Pi and eating Pie, the kids were fascinated to know that there is math Pi, they were thrilled to hear we would be eating PIE on pi day, March 14/3.14.

Each day as we did our calendar work from March 1 until March 13 we discussed the symbol for Pi, practiced writing the symbol and discussed that 3.14 is Pi. We sent invitations/notes to our computer lab teacher, our second computer lab teacher, administrators and cafeteria ladies telling them we would be coming by on Pi day.

The invitation notes were written on official Pi 3M Post It: Super Sticky Large Format Notes and were hand carried by serious Little People to the various persons we were inviting to join us in the day.

We had to celebrate Pi day on Thursday, March 13, early Pi day, because 3.14 - also known as March 14, was parent conference day, and children were not in class as we begin our spring break.

Thus, on March 13; 3 chocolate Pies and 2 cherry, provided by parents, were sliced, small people wearing the official Pi symbol carefully penned by one of our official Pi scribes on 3M Post It: Super Sticky Large Format Notes, and placed on their chef aprons, marched, pie in hand to cafeteria, principal’s office, computer lab, etc. accompanied by the official Pi day hall pass carrier, who also wore official Pi symbol scribed by the official Pi scribe on 3M Post It: Large Format Notes. The official Pi note was affixed to chest of each small person for the Pi/pie delivery.

When all deliveries were made, then Osage County First Grade members sat down to devour their own slice of piE.

========================

When not talking Pi, I use the 3M Post It: Super Sticky Large Format Notes now and then during math time. The notes are large, 8 inches by 5, and pricey, so they are not an everyday use item. By using now and then the notes remain special and children are more excited to be allowed to use them than they would be if we used them daily and the notes became routine.

Little people have a hard time understanding that equal means numbers on both sides of the sign must be the same.

The kids can state the fact.

1 plus 4 = ________ is the easy concept.

It is 1 plus 4 = ___ plus 1 that throws them for a loop.

Despite being able to verbalize that the number must be the same on both sides of the equal sign; Little people read 1 plus 4 = ___ plus 1 and write 5 ON THE BLANK.

We practice the addition or subtraction, then to reinforce the lesson; each child is given a problem, and one of our colorful, large super stickys it is his/her job to get the problem written correctly, 1 plus 4 = 4 plus 1, posted to their chest on one of the 3M Post It: Super Sticky Large Format Notes and get themselves lined up from 1 – 16.

Lots of giggles and rearranging of selves takes place as little people get themselves in number order.

Osage County First Grade is beginning to get it when it comes to a number = that same number on both sides of the equal sign; even when we are writing two equations and not just an answer to one equation.

Our super sticky large size is worn to the cafeteria at lunch time to show 'the cafeteria ladies.'

The super sticky adhesive assures that even after being repositioned several times the note will be on the chest and visible for the ladies to see. So far there has been no residue left on shirts.

In this day and age Post It Pads manufactured by the 3M corporation are a far cry from those early models produced by Dr. Spencer Silver and his little canary yellow bits of paper bearing a strip of low tack adhesive. Today’s Post Its are manufactured in an extensive, and ever growing, variety of sizes, colors, shapes.

The most common size of Post-it notes remains the 3-in (7.5-cm) square, produced in the trademark canary yellow hue. The notes continue to be produced with a strip of that unmatched low-tack adhesive that facilitates attaching and removal of Post-it without difficulty and without leaving marks or scum behind.

From its launch back in the early 1970s 3M Post It Note Pads have seen increasing recognition for their versatility. The 3M Post It: Super Sticky Large Format Notes as well as many of the other sizes, shapes and colors are certainly useful in our First Grade classroom, and I can see that the 3M Post It: Super Sticky Large Format Notes would have many uses in an office setting.

Thirty two thumbs up from Osage County First Grade, happy to recommend.
