Learning Scales for Kids

My school district has adopted the Marzano evaluation system, and we teachers have had to whip up more "things" to hang on the walls.  I'm anti-sensory overload, so I'm very choosy when it comes to deciding what warrants a big anchor chart.  One of the necessary items, as per the Marzano system, is a visual of the overall rubric (called "learning scales") for academic tasks.  I knew that I didn't want my learning scales to be boring, and I didn't want it to be wallpaper.


So, I created a Snoopy-themed set of scales that can be easily hung vertically from the top of my whiteboard down to the ledge.  I plan to get smallish magnets and put the kids' names on them.  As a recognition, a student who has met a 3.0 or 4.0 will get to move their magnet to the appropriate position on the board.  (A move to 4.0 would definitely get a hand-clap, too!!)
