Anchor charts are basically posters that are developed with the students’ input.  They are made during the lesson with the students front and center.  By doing so, the students can have ownership in them and refer to them throughout the school day when needed.

Here’s the charts that we made thus far this yer!

READING!

The chart shows the Teaching Points that could help them with their reading responses each night.  Ask them to explain each of the strategies that are on this chart!
