Anchor charts! Love them! A definite helpful resource for the kiddos throughout the year. But also can be a pain to store. They can be big and slippery and good heavens don't roll them or you'll be sitting paper weights on them for a week to flatten them!
EEK! seeing that picture gives me hives! Now I realize some teachers may not "keep" their anchor charts once they are made. However, I like to do a mixture of both keeping and re-making. I make a lot of charts in the midst of teaching and may end up "raffling" them off to the kids and not keeping them. But I also make a lot of "templates" ahead of time, laminate them, and then add in the info with dry erase or wet erase with the kids.
SO what have I done? Saved those clear plastic hangers I get when I go shopping haha.
I hole punch the posters I am keeping and put the rings through them to hang them on the hangers.
I categorize them by content area and then by objectives we teach together or back to back.
Of course I need it to be color coded as well.
I use these amazing labels:
They fit perfectly in the empty space on the hanger. I then tape over it to secure it a bit more.
Here are some close up's:
Now I can easily access all my posters and just pull the hanger I will be needing that week or month.
Phew! Anchor chart madness averted! Hope this helps!
Have a BLESSED weekend!
