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.

Comment below, and I’ll send you my literacy and Comment below, and I’ll send you my literacy and math plans for incorporating the winter games into my classroom this year!! ⛷️ It was a HUGE hit four years ago, and I have been so excited about using the same resources again this year. ❄️
I took some time to refresh enrichment binders tod I took some time to refresh enrichment binders today! I added new poems, magazines, books, and some of my favorite Winter Games math and winter resources! 👏 

Comment below, and I’ll send you links to some of my new additions that are perfect for this time of year! 💕

So… WHY Enrichment binders? 🤔 Isn’t that just more busy work? NOPE! 

I am a firm believer that students who have mastered material should have DIFFERENT work, not just MORE work. This is meant to be used as replacement enrichment rather than additional work. 

💥 That means when students have shown mastery of a skill, I don’t need to make them do more of the same exact thing. Instead, we need to have something MEANINGFUL ready for them that either advances, deepens, or enriches their learning and thinking!

💭  When used together with differentiated class work and appropriate enrichment opportunities, the content within enrichment binders is rigorous and meaningful and will challenge, advance, and GROW students academically while still remaining SUPER engaging. 🌱 

I update enrichment binders as needed, based on current skills, goals, and needs! 📅
2025 was a GREAT year for children’s books! 👏 2025 was a GREAT year for children’s books! 👏 These are just a few of my favorite releases — comment below, and I’ll send you a list of ALL my favorites. 📚
This is ALWAYS the first thing I do when we return This is ALWAYS the first thing I do when we return from break!! 👏 It’s free and totally print and go — just comment below, and I’ll send you the link to download it. 🩷💕
This is my new favorite ornament project in my cla This is my new favorite ornament project in my classroom! 👏 🎄 We are reading Peter Brown’s new book, The Gift of Words, and creating ornaments with messages of positivity, hope, and joy for the year to come and in celebration of this year! Comment below, and I’ll send you all the info and a link to this absolutely beautiful book. 

✨ While there are Christmas themes in the book, it never mentions Christmas. 🩷 We will leave our adornments on the tree throughout the winter season. 

✨ You can also combine this idea with another I’ve done in the past, where students write a positive compliment to each other students the class and place it into their ornaments. These are a favorite every year, and ours still hang on our personal tree at home (see the last video).
❄️ ⛅️ The shortest day of the year is almo ❄️ ⛅️ The shortest day of the year is almost here! 🥶 Winter Solstice is such a fun concept to teach both before and after winter break. I sure do LOVE a good paired text selection, so I carefully chose three picture books that present winter solstice in three very different ways — realistic fiction, informational text, and through poetry/verse — and I even added in an extra informational text passage and video. ✨ Over the years, it has become the perfect lesson on compiling and synthesizing information from multiple sources! We use this anchor chart to gather the info in one place. 

❄️ 🌞 Drop a comment below, and I’ll send you the book and anchor chart info!

True story: I had a current student’s sibling fo True story: I had a current student’s sibling four years ago, and my student came in today asking if we were doing that “really fun travel the world math project my sister told me about.” 🥹 

Yes, yes we were, and I just love that his sister still remembers this little blip in her third grade year! 

So it’s true, my kids were GIDDY about starting this one today, and it’s a favorite for me every year, too. 

Comment below, and I’ll send you all the info. 💕 🌍
