Anchor Charts
Classroom anchor charts are being created by teachers and students highlighting specific guidelines or behaviors for performing a particular literacy task. As students learn new strategies or information, they can be added to ongoing anchor charts. Generally, the charts are created during mini-lessons and are referenced as scaffolds or reminders for students as needed throughout Reader's Workshop and the school day.

I love all of these examples of anchor charts. Thank you for posting!
ReplyDeleteI save my anchor charts from year to year to look over when making a new one. That way my tired brain doesn't forget anything important. I need all the help I can get!
ReplyDeleteI am seeing awesome examples of anchor charts across our building and the district from the sharing that is taking place! Way to go Team Nixa! I believe it is wonderful to provide graphic organizers and visuals for students to "see" as we never underestimate the importance of modeling and doing "think alouds" for our students. Thank you for sharing for all to see!
ReplyDeleteWith that said and with all the amazing things that we continue to do that are "teacher-directed", I want to make sure that we also continue to recognize that our greatest focus needs to be on how that learning transfers to what our students are doing. (i.e. learning artifacts/student learning trails that the students produce and what their work products actually look like are even more powerful, hence, keeping the focus on "student-centered learning.")
