Fifth grade was my home before stepping into the math coach role, and I love getting back into 5th grade classrooms. Earlier this week, I was in Mrs. Martinez’s room, and I loved that she had anchor charts up for the kids! I think too often we think of anchor charts as something for primary kiddos.
I really liked the two about test taking. Kids need to understand that there are certain behaviors that will help them be successful in test-taking situations.
Enjoy!

Just recently I started using anchor charts with my 6th grade students. My goal is to encourage students to use them as a reference when working during class, and see the charts as informative and not merely decoration.
I’ve had this discussion at school about anchor charts and upper elementary. I agree that they can be a helpful tool, however I also think that students in grades 4 and 5 should be transitioning to taking notes.
