My twenty two students are young and energetic second graders that are always working towards achieving their best. They are truly a joy to teach and they are dedicated to the growth of their own learning. Each day my students are making strides to reach weekly, month, and yearlong goals that they have set for themselves. My second graders come to me with diverse learning needs, backgrounds, and skill sets. As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom.
Despite the many challenges they face, I am trying to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences based on their individual needs.
My Project
Room 306 is having so much fun this year using anchor charts to increase our understanding of the common core second grade curriculum. It is so much easier to SEE what we mean!
My students are so excited when we are making a new anchor chart, because they are involved in making it!
Large and small chart paper, an assortment of colorful markers and various colored paper will enable my students to be active participants in their own learning!
Creating anchor charts with my students is one of the most beneficial ways to reinforce learning. Kids are captivated by the large chart paper and colorful words and drawings used to represent important strategies we are working on. These charts are also a great visual for students to go back to over and over again throughout the year!
I truly believe that visuals are so important to learn and grow!
