Hey Fran,
Symbols are abundant in my classroom, the hallway, the road, the park, phones, and on and on. I am on a mission to have each child transform our class anchor charts/rubrics into small hand held tools that have self-created symbols. Below I have posted pictures of a recent example from my class -- the classic
5 Finger Retelling Hand created by my students. I LOVE the varying symbols for
connections in the palm of the hand. I believe that the plug, lego, heart and cars crashing illustrate the power of a self - created symbols for making meaning and... making meaning last.
