What's Happening Around Lyon Academy? September 25th, 2014

Take a look at some of the great things happening in our classrooms that were spotted this week. If you see an anchor chart, student work or something else in the building you would like to share with the staff and have featured in the blog, please send it to Tyler.Archer@slps.org.

Ms. Salmo's anchor chart, "Turn to Your Partner" demonstrates for students expectations for using an engagement strategy during read alouds. 

Ms. Cleland's anchor chart, "Respectful Words" helps students to engage in conversation with each other in a positive, respectful manner. 

Although not a traditional anchor chart, Ms. McCord has used sentence strips to help students with citing their evidence when making a claim or argument. 

Along with the sentence strips (above), this anchor chart helps students to write compelling, complete and effective arguments. 

Ms. Williams-Alberty modeled for her students how to create a Main Idea and Details chart/table from a read aloud. 

Ms. McPherson created an excellent rubric and aligned her student work to the objectives being taught in her classroom. 

Ms. Colacino's hallway display features her students pictures and their reading goals for the year. 

Finally, Mr. Schwerdt's Volleyball anchor chart proves that even in Gym, anchor charts are useful!
