Word Walls

When thinking of word walls I can not imagine a classroom with out them! I also can not imagine all the hard work that goes into making a word wall and changing it all the time! I stumble across some portable word walls on Pinterest and was like, game changer!!I think it is important to put time into your bulletin boards and really think about how useful they will be to students. If you have a board that is just thrown up and plain jane than let's be honest students aren't going to use it. Also, if you put a lot of work into a bulletin board and you are proud of it but it is not purposeful then your hard work was for nothing! This is where a portable word wall comes in to play! It is functional, its a space saver, it is hands on and engaging, students will love it! Below are some pictures a portable word wall and I have linked the blog post from Kindergarten Korner by Casey!

    When thinking about word walls I didn't even think about how much hard work they are. I agree that if you have bulletin board that you want to use it up and make it useful. You don't just want to leave it blank and you don't want to waste your time and hard work on nothing. I love the idea of a portable word wall. I think I could see myself using one like this. I think I will use on in my classroom but I still can't wait for my experiance in a classroom that doesn't have one in it.

    Rylee,
    Yes girl! I love the portable options. Less wall space is taken up and students can take them to and from their desks. It also makes it easy at testing time to remove them. I remember having to help cover things on a teacher's wall in preparation for MAP testing, what a pain. Being able to just go grab them would have been so easier. I love the options you found on the web! great job!

    The portable options are awesome! That's a new-to-me word wall and I am super excited about its possibilities.

Future Classroom Teaching Reading

Into the Future.... I am so excited to be able to be in my own classroom implementing all these amazing ideas and strategies that I have learned over the years at Columbia College. One thing that I have been super excited about and that I have held near and dear to my heart during this last stretch of my education is reading and how that will look in my future classroom. It is hard to imagine because you really do not know where you will end up especially fresh out of college. I do know that teaching reading is going to be something that I truly will look forward to in my classroom. Which is almost strange to me because I never really cared to read growing up and I really do not read very much now. When I am reading to my students and I watch how excited they are about a book and I get really into it and just watch how much they love it, I know exactly why I choose this career.  Also, teaching reading is not an easy task at all. Teaching reading will be so hard,...

5 Books For My Unit Plan!

The Fabulous Five:  In my unit plan this semester I have obtained some fun books that help me teach my students how to recognize characters and settings, character traits, comparing and contrast characters, cause and effect, and recognizing begging, middle, and end. Here is a list and how I will use it in the lesson.  1. The Rainbow Fish - Students will be able to describe the character and setting in this story by creating a character and setting Pyramid.  2. Where The Wild Things Are -  students will be able to describe the characters and setting, by writing and illustrating what they read. They will be doing this by listing the different characters, writing a sentence about their  traits and then drawing a picture.  3.  Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs -  Students will be able to describe the character traits of the main characters and compare and contrast them using a Venn diagram. 4.  A Bad Case of Str...
