Anchor (Charts) Away! Support Our Growing Readers!
My students need anchor chart paper for academics and culture: daily lesson resources, reminders of literacy content, classroom rules/procedures, and class chant lyrics!
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I will have 60 3rd graders capable of growing at least 2 years in reading this year! Along the way, they will hopefully acquire a love and passion for literature. A challenge to that goal is a shortage of resources to execute the fantastic literacy curriculum, which requires many anchor charts.
I am privileged to have two literacy blocks of 30-35 3rd grade scholars this year.
While I have yet to meet my 60+ scholars, I know that they will be eager to learn and have a strong desire to excel in order to eventually graduate from college. I know that my scholars will be loving, fun, and excited about what the world of literature has to offer. My school is in its second year of operation after having closed in 2004, and it has already created a strong culture of love, leadership, and excellence. My hope is that anchor charts created with the chart paper will aid in establishing an environment of academic growth and progress, excellence, love, and inspiration.
My Project
Anchor charts are EVERYWHERE! Posters made with the chart paper are critical for daily lessons and classroom culture. Our literacy curriculum is fantastic, and much of it cannot be properly executed without the aid of pre-made posters and literacy resources to use each day. My students should have all of the materials that are needed in order to succeed in their literacy block each day. Additionally, anchor charts will be used to post the lyrics to classroom chants, which will create a sense of classroom pride and family, for example: "The more we read the more we know! And when we know, to college we'll go!" Anchor charts are also used to post classroom procedures and rules in order to help scholars understand how to make good choices during school and set them up for success each day.
Your donation to this project will make all of the difference to the entire third grade team.
Something as small as a piece of chart paper can change lives because it ensures that we save time by having definitions, terms, and quotes pre-written. This will give us a lot more time for literacy instruction! Your donation will also empower my third graders to build a culture that helps them understand that they can and will make it through college with perseverance.
