Whether you’re getting ready for back-to-school time or you need enforce a few more rules in your classroom, classroom management anchor charts can be a great solution. We pulled together our favorite charts on classroom rules, procedures, expectations and more, along with a few of our own emoji designs. Don’t forget to watch the emoji video at the end to see how we put them together!
