Anchor charts are created during the instruction of the lesson or part of a group session. As you present the lesson or strategy, key points are written on chart paper. Once the lesson/session is complete, the chart is saved. This is another vehicle for academic support, especially for the visual learner. The beauty of an anchor chart is that it can be displayed again the next lesson/session. I have anchor charts for each grade level and group. I store them on the easel in my office and use as needed.
For example. the one in the picture is for a session on being assertive in a small group with boys in second grade. In this group I use a different book for each session from the Shubert series by Conscious Discipline.consciousdiscipline.com/store/pc/Book This is the anchor chart we went through together before reading the book. It will be available as a review at the beginning of the next session, then as needed as we work on various problem solving skills throughout the group. Beginning in third grade I would distinguish Passive, Aggressive, and Assertive but this is what I have found most effective for second graders.
