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.

hey, I’m Mary

I’m so glad you are here. I’m a current gifted and talented teacher in a small town in Colorado, and I’ve been in education since 2009. My passion (other than my family and cookies) is for making teachers’ lives easier and classrooms more engaging.

Elapsed Time Amazing Race is my favorite (and free Elapsed Time Amazing Race is my favorite (and freeeeee!!) ✈️ 🧳 🕰️ 

Students absolutely love refining their elapsed time skills with this game, and they learn so much at the same time. I always try to do this lesson while I teach context clues so that we can do the Context Clues Travel Trek at the same time. Super easy mini transformation and SO much meaningful skill practice! This is FREE on the blog in both a digital and printable around the room version.

I know I talk about our weekly letters a lot, but I know I talk about our weekly letters a lot, but they are a teaching highlight for me. 💖 This week, one of my students wrote about loving to create comics, so I immediately added that to my list of things to incorporate this year! 

If you want to know more, drop a comment with the word LETTERS, and I’ll send you more info and free letter pack to get started! 📫

💭 It’s not too late to make a beautiful yearl 💭 It’s not too late to make a beautiful yearlong bulletin board that really makes your students think AND provides real world relevance and connection!!
⁣
I’ve done this for the last few years and just LOVE seeing what my students come up with! Each student decides on something they want to be when they grow up OR something they want to do (play soccer, learn piano, master the new level XYZ video game). 

Then, they have to brainstorm several ways math and/or reading will be part of that and write it on their quote bubble. I hang their picture up with it on the bulletin board, and throughout the year, they can add to the MATH MATTERS board with other ideas about how they use math in their everyday life. 💡 I LOVE seeing their ideas and how they grow throughout the year!

Swipe all the way through to see a beautiful Reading Matters version of the bulletin board! ❤️
Let’s talk MORNING MEETING! ❤️❤️ Do you Let’s talk MORNING MEETING! ❤️❤️ Do you have a favorite book you use during it?! It’s my favorite time of day, and my students know they are almost always going to hear an excellent picture book during our time together. 

💖 Swipe to see 8 of the books I’m using to start the year!

I use these books to help teach crucial social and personal skills and develop a classroom community and teamwork! 

I am super intentional with how I use these books to support our personal and classroom goals, so this year, we’re developing specific, research-based lessons to go along with them. 

💥 Drop a comment below, and I’ll send you a link to MORE morning meeting book lists and these lessons! ❤️
This is your reminder that your notebook entries d This is your reminder that your notebook entries don’t need to be elaborate, but you should be teaching your students to form compound sentences. 😉 Swipe to see some of my favorite (but easy to implement) coordinating conjunction lessons!

✍️Notebooks: When I taught coordinating conjunctions, my students made their own notes pages in their writing journals. I printed out my coordinating conjunctions task cards in mini format (16 to a page!) to glue in as examples. The entire left side is covered in task cards for practice. 

✍️Anchor Chart: Can you fill in the blanks?! Here’s the shell I use when teaching the lesson. 

✍️Activity: Students use sentence strips and elbow noodles to form compound sentences. Always a hit!
Adding this to my MUST-DO lessons from here on out Adding this to my MUST-DO lessons from here on out! 💖 We read One Word for Kids, and each of my students determined what their word for the year would be. We talked about how their words can apply to situations both at home and at school and how they will serve as a guide for each student throughout the year. 

As a reminder of their word (and because Taylor Swift is still on my mind 😍), each student made a bracelet with their word. They LOVED this, and I’ve loved seeing them wearing their bracelets as a reminder of their goal for the year. 

Want a link to the book and the beads I used? Drop a comment below, and I’ll send it your way. ❤️💖
Are you teaching place value right now? Me too! 🤗 That means it’s time for my most popular math project EVER! 🕵️‍♂️ Save this post and drop the word “YES” below, and I’ll send you a link!

✨ Each student gets a TOP SECRET folder (I fold large construction paper in half and glue the label on!), and we play Mission Impossible Music. I bought a “confidential” stamp years ago, and I DRAMATICALLY stamp each completed page with it. Then, students track their progress with fingerprints on the tracking chart. Add some inexpensive magnifying glasses… the engagement is truly off the charts! 

I designed Place Value Detectives to challenge your students, engage them in real-life scenarios, and ignite their passion for math! It’s an excellent challenge that your kids will love. I promise! With over 12,000 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews and years of my own classroom testing and refining, Place Value Detectives is a tried and true resource for enriching your place value unit! 🔍
