My Project

Each time we introduce a new learning concept, we create an anchor chart as a class to visualize skills to be transferred in their independent practice. Students are able to look around the room if they need a refresh and it guides them during a "productive struggle." I have 26 students, 8 who are English language learners and 8 who receive special education services. These anchor charts provide them the opportunity to access those visuals at all times. Students are included when we are in the creation process, so it becomes personalized to their own learning process!
