Observation: Anchor charts are helpful!
Reflection: While I was in my
placement, walking around the school, I noticed many classrooms with various
anchor charts hanging all over their walls. While most of them are very
visually appealing, I started to wonder if there was even a point to having
them hung up everywhere. Did the students even notice they were there? Or was
it just for show?
Reflection on Reflection: I started to
notice that when the students were completing their math assignments and
homework in class, they continuously turned to these anchor charts as a
reminder or a refresher. I think that classrooms do not have enough of them! They serve as a helpful tool that students can use to become independent and
not rely on the teacher for answers to a simple question. I noticed that it
makes the students feel as though they are able to solve the problem on their own, and
they really do spend time reading the anchor charts. It just reinforces that visual aids are great learning tools for kids!
