As teachers, we all have the power to instill a sense of environmental responsibility and stewardship in our students, starting from the early elementary years up into high school. Anchor charts are powerful and visually engaging tools that can help reinforce these concepts. There are several types of sustainability anchor charts that can be created for grades K-12, offering inspiration and ideas to seamlessly incorporate eco-conscious practices into your teaching curriculum.
For lower grade levels, anchor charts should be interactive, but most of the information should either be provided or used as a review for the students. This helps students see and work with the information continually throughout the lesson or unit. In terms of sustainability, these anchor charts should also include visuals for students to see and make connections for that topic. Below are sustainability charts that can help students connect to the abstract ideas of conservation.
