If you're anything like me, asking a question and having a student shrug their shoulders in response, DRIVES ME CRAZY! The same goes with being told, "I don't know." So, to help eliminate these two behaviors, I created an anchor chart for my classroom of questions a student could ask instead of saying "I don't know" or shrugging their shoulders. IIn the beginning, it was a challenge for my students to refer to the chart because they were so used to their old stand by if they didn't know the answer. However, they've started to reference the chart on their own and if they see me glance at it, they ask one of those questions, so I don't have to verbally remind them very often. I didn't introduce it until halfway through the year so I'm hoping that by using it from the get go next year, it won't be as difficult of a transition for the class.
