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.

The Humble Pie has become an INSTANT favorite for The Humble Pie has become an INSTANT favorite for me. 🥧 I was speechless when I read it and instantly paired it with The Big Snowdown to teach being humble vs. arrogant and instilling the idea that hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. I created this comparison chart to track our notes as we read, and I can’t wait to talk about these BIG lessons with students. 👏 A MUST pairing for every upper elementary classroom. 🫶
🥹 The reflections after reading these four book 🥹 The reflections after reading these four books has me in awe!! Over the last few years, I’ve done two different versions of these book comparisons (swipe to see both), and they both result in such deep thinking about characters, internal and external conflict, theme vs. topic, and ALL KINDS of character traits! 

Comment below, and I’ll send you everything you need. 🩷💕
A week of lesson plans I’m truly excited about t A week of lesson plans I’m truly excited about teaching. ✨

It’s almost time for my favorite collaborative w It’s almost time for my favorite collaborative writing assignment all year, and I’ve got my chart ready to go! 🥧 🥔 You can do this with any delicious dinner feast (you don’t need to specify Thanksgiving) and incorporate all of your students’ family favorite family foods! I can’t WAIT to see what this year’s group comes up with. 

✨ This activity is part of my FREE Week Before Thanksgiving Lesson Plans, and I just added NEW printable student sheets to use with it! 🤗 Comment below, and I’ll send you more info about this lesson and the freebies to go with it! Swipe to see different versions of this lesson I’ve done with kids!

Here are the details:

I have students imagine their favorite feast AFTER it has been eaten (oh, what a mess!). We fill the table with the foods. Then, we brainstorm vivid vocabulary words to describe each part of our mess.

Swipe to see the next step where we form even more detailed descriptive sentences! You can even take it a step further and compile it into a paragraph with a topic and closing sentence. This entire process is included in the free printables, too!
Don’t worry — the emails are always positive!! Don’t worry — the emails are always positive!! 🥰🤩😅 Parents can never believe how much math relevance their kids see and apply ON Thanksgiving. Now, if only I could convince them to help with the dishes. 😜 

Comment below, and I’ll send you a link to my favorite project all year!

Pssst ✨ This is NOT your average Plan Thanksgiving Dinner project! It is differentiated and takes that idea to new heights and is loved by thousands of teachers! 🥧 They use so many problem solving skills, and I can’t wait to implement it for the 10th+ year in a row!!
Comparing the themes, conflict, and character chan Comparing the themes, conflict, and character change in these four books has been SUCH an excellent challenge! 🍁 This year, I swapped out one of the books, changed up the anchor chart, and added a F R E E printable note catcher for students as well as a cumulative project assignment. 

💖 Comment below, and I’ll send you everything you need to implement this lesson right away! It hits a TON of academic standards and really gets kids thinking about identifying specific themes, tracking character change, examining conflict, and writing brief summaries. 👏

It may be spooky season in my classroom, but you k It may be spooky season in my classroom, but you know I’ll still be keeping things structured and academically focused! 👻 🎃 Comment below, and I’ll send you the links to all the fun in my plans this week! 

Over the years, I’ve amassed so many resources to incorporate seasonal fun while still hitting your standards, crucial reading skills, AND critical thinking. 🍂 ⬇️ 

💚 Halloween Reader’s Theatre was my most popular set for the last TWO years, and I know why! There are 8 plays, and they are SO fun and engaging AND students are held accountable with listener guides. 👻 I also created plays with a variety of kids in each play? so they range from partner plays to groups of six!

🧡 I can’t wait for my students to solve the Halloween inference mystery by exploring their case files to figure out who is wearing each costume! 

🖤… and of course, I can’t forget reading logic puzzles (which my students are OBSESSED with this year) and context clues creepy tasks! Your literacy plans are COVERED for this week! 👏
