Would you like to decorate your classroom with fun, hand-drawn anchor charts/posters? Do you simply not have the time to get them done? Well, you have come to the perfect place! I love making these engaging and appealing anchor charts. I also can draw/create any other topic you would like, just contact me directly and ask! My students absolutely love these posters and references them every day. Many of them are visual learners, so the colorful images really help them connect and remember what they have learned. This particular anchor chart is for readers/writers practicing synonyms and antonyms. My students always learn better with visuals and they always have such a blast with these creative anchor charts! **These will be copies unless asked otherwise for a custom poster. They are not laminated, and are printed on normal, anchor chart paper. I ship these out ASAP after being ordered, but please keep in mind once shipped, it is outside of my control. Therefore, if shipping does not meet your expectations, I highly encourage you to please reach out to me first, and we have always been able to work something out to make up for anything that may have occurred after I have sent your package, thanks so much!! Hope you love it :)

My students are really enjoying the activities and are asking more questions which leads to greater discussion. I highly recommend!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heather C. said, "This resource is FANTASTIC. I am super excited to give this entire course a go in the spring. Be aware that this is a lot of material, so it may take a little bit to digest it all. Once you know where to look for the materials, it gets easier to put together. I'm currently in the process of putting a teacher notebook together so that I have something to show the kids, and I cannot be any more pleased with the quality and content included in this bundle. I no longer am nervous to teach this course as putting this together makes me feel much more confident (and competent) to successfully teach Sociology."
