Word Walls



Kindergarten Word Wall at St. Brendan, Mexico, MO.  The first Word Wall is in their classroom where the students do seat work.  The 2nd -4th are in the second classroom  first names are in red, last names are in blue, and high frequency words are black.

incorporate these into my phonics word wall and discuss words that are decodable in order to reinforce word attack skills. My students have always been taught sight reading so don't have decoding skills. Very limiting!!:

I am getting certified in Special Education K-12 I wanted to see what, if anything, was on Pinterest.  I could see this Word Wall in a Life Skills class in High School.

A Kindergarten Word Wall, I like how the word families and pictures are included.  Pictures plus words is a great visual clue.
With so many ways to display a Word Wall, how do we determine which method is the best?
I will be teaching Special Education, hopefully in an Elementary school, I will have multiple grades and multiple Word Walls so I would like to have my students keep their classroom Word Wall on a flip book (index cards and ring) so we can add to it when the regular education teacher or the student needs to add new words.

    OOOH! Job terms is a good one! Some of these in depth word walls can go really well for high school students, in my opinion. I also like the DifferKinder wall with the at, am, ag and ap words thrown up there! I am not going to know what to do with myself when I finally get my own room!!

    I love photographs! This is an interesting word wall and I love seeing how different grade levels use them.

Reflection on Wednesday Night's Class and lesson plans

     In class we went over chapter 12 and 13, which were very short chapters but full of great information.  We took time to let the information soak in and we got to research the web site of one our favorite authors.  I had the opportunity to do this activity in my Young Adult Literature class and it was an eye opening experience.           I researched Eric Carle web site, www.eric-carle.com which has a section for teachers to submit lessons that they have done with books by Eric Carle.  There was a complete list of Eric Carle books that are in print and those that are no longer being published.    I liked how we talked about graphic organizers in class.  Dr. Hanna uses them in all of his graduate classes so it was nice that another teacher finds them useful as well.  My favorite one to use with preschoolers is a t-chart.           I had no problem thinking of the unit that I wanted to focus on.  However it is taking me awhile to think of how I will write the lesson plans.  There

Book List for My Unit on Fall

My book list for my Unit on Fall is pretty long but I wanted to have a large variety of fiction and nonfiction books that my Kindergartners can explore and read.    Book List for October Fall Language Arts Unit There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves by Lucille Colandro (2010) This book is based on the traditional Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly but in this story the Old Lady swallowed leaves that had fallen from a tree.  She continues to swallow more fall related things and the students will have to predict what will happen at the end of the story.      Pick A Circle, Gather Squares a Fall Harvest of Shapes by Felicia Sanzari Chernesky (2013) This book is not just about harvesting crops in the fall but also the colors and shapes that we see around us during this wonderful season.  The illustrations are breathtaking and the students can play I Spy while they read the book.  Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt by Kate Messner (2015) Leaf Man by Lo
