Hi. My name is Lauren Winter and I am addicted to anchor charts. I love making them. I love teaching with them. I love hanging them in my classroom. I just love me some anchor charts.

This week we were studying proper and common nouns. I decided to make these page toppers. I plan to keep the pages and just take the list off to make a new one with my students next year. If you don't want to draw you could find images that would work. (That was the easier and quicker idea of my neighbor teacher. I should have ran the idea by her before I drew my own. :)) We read a Pete the Cat book as a fun intro. At first, I gave the students the proper and common and had them discuss and…
