Using Student Photos to Teach Conventions

I love love love my fellow teacher friends- they help me become a better teacher on a daily basis :)

One of my besties teaches 2nd grade at my school and I was chatting with her after school the other day- about nothing school-related, I'm sure ;)- and saw the CUTEST idea on her language study anchor chart:

 

Isn't this amazing! She doesn't blog, so I am sharing it with the blogosphere on her behalf :)

Love this idea- she takes pics of the kids the first week of school and prints out several copies of each (using either a printer or the super-cheap photo deals that come around for pennies per print), and viola!

She said that each rule becomes that child's rule and they never ever forget it!

PS- We use Daily Language Instruction at our school to teach proofreading and conventions and really like it!

I saw another super-cute picture idea floating around Pinterest:

Do you use photos in creative ways in your classroom? I would love to have some new ideas to add to my stockpile for next year :)
