Anchor Charts

We have been very busy learning new writing skills in first grade. I thought I would show you some of the anchor charts around our room. When I introduce a new skill, the class helps me write a chart about it, and then I display the chart in the room so they can refer back to it.

This one is how to choose a "just right" book to read.



This one is all about what to do when you are reading to yourself.
 This one is all about how to read to a buddy. EEKK stands for elbow to elbow and knee to knee.


Of course these are the prompts we use to help a student write an unfamiliar word.
We've been working on this one a lot the past week. No more, "Ms. Nickless, I'm done." :-)
