What Do Students Already Know?

The first anchor chart in my turkey anchor charts for kids pack is a KWL chart. I love using these to see what students already know and what they want to learn. Throughout the week, I like to leave a stack of blank sticky notes next to the chart. I let students grab a sticky note and write down new facts that they learn when they are reading a book or researching on the web.

Introduce Facts About Turkeys with Anchor Charts

Once students have shared what they know about turkeys, I start a new anchor chart about facts and information that I want them to know. You can read a book or show a video about turkeys, then use this chart to record what they learn.
