When I tell you Anchor Charts have been completely responsible for transforming my teaching…

I am being SO serious.

My journey with these amazing charts began when I entered my first teaching position. The posters available for the room were super sterile and textbook generic. They were yawn-worthy. And that was just me…if I thought those things were horrendous, how could I possibly think they would engage my students?

On top of this deficit, my students struggled with reading, vocabulary, organization, and simply approaching notes in general.

Through incorporation of these charts in my lessons, walls, and student notebooks I noticed students relaxing as they approached new topics. The classroom became more inviting and student notes became more approachable.
