Anchor Charts

Over the years, I have created dozens of anchor charts in my classroom. I am a huge proponent of creating anchor charts with my students, and I strongly believe that the perfect anchor chart isn’t always pretty. The posts below feature many of my anchor charts.

Over the last two years, we’ve worked hard to create these school-specific podcasts and LOVE hearing how engaged kids are while using them! Topics range from sports to history to character development and types of writing, and each set includes recorded podcasts, transcripts, show notes, after show activities, and more! 👏
💡 👓 I got this idea from @heyhopeking years 💡 👓 I got this idea from @heyhopeking years ago, and my glasses have patiently been waiting to be used ever since then. I am SO glad I pulled them out of my closet this year to use them as a back to school activity! My students LOVED creating their All About Me glasses, and I plan to create more character glasses throughout the year for different books we read!

🌟 Comment below, and I’ll send you the link to the glasses we used. 

I borrowed some of our at-home Lego collection and let my students go to town building symbols on the glasses that represented different things about them. We had everything from big mountains, pineapples representing cultural roots in Hawaii, Taylor Swift figurines to display a love of music, and plenty of musical instruments and animals! I LOVED hearing my students stand in front of the class and talk about their creative symbols!

The kids don’t get to keep the glasses so I can use them throughout the year, but we will leave them on display for the next few weeks! If we’d have had more time, I would have had them write a short paragraph and take a picture with their glasses to display. 🩷
