Goodbye Word Wall!

Goodbye Word Wall!

I have ALWAYS had a word wall in my second grade classroom. It was filled with vocabulary words and sight words. However, most of the words that were on the wall were in their writing notebooks, which they use for reference while writing. We weren’t really USING the word wall. In order to make the word wall more effective, I decided to make it a wall for all of the over used words. The words on the wall are the words that I notice they use way too often in their writing. I thought that I would change up the wall to encourage more colorful words. Instead of fun…

Instead of sad…

Instead of happy…

Instead of good…

Instead of bad…

They really enjoy using these words in their writing and even push themselves to think of other words that are not on the wall!
