Anchor Charts 2012-2013

Hi Everyone!
Below are some pictures of a few of the many anchor charts I created with students throughout this school year. Each one is left up in the classroom for the duration of the unit of study for which it was developed. Afterwards the chart is placed into a bin in my classroom called "Choose a Chart." Students can refer back to the information on the chart as needed. 
Enjoy!
Carol

My students are on their second go round of Inquiry Circles. They are working on science topics related to the Plant and Animal Life Cycle unit. They are having a great time with this once again. I have found that they need to focus more on developing relevant questions and use those questions to guide their research. I conducted a few minilessons revolving around questioning and monitoring for meaning. Seems to be helping a great deal.  Below are a couple of anchor charts.
