Word Collection Board {Classroom 360}

Classroom 360 is a consummate tour of my classroom every bit designed for the 2012-2013 schoolhouse year. Each post highlights an aspect of my room alongside photos, a detailed explanation of it's purpose, as well as oft times videos. Be certain to banking concern fit out all the other posts.


This is my Word Collection Board. It's a infinite inwards my classroom designated to displaying interesting give-and-take choices constitute inwards texts. When I learn writing I focus heavily on give-and-take choice. We hash out how adding adjectives or selecting "strong verbs" improve the arts and crafts as well as at that topographic point is no amend agency to demonstrate this than alongside mentor texts. 

When I am reading books aloud to the shape I volition oft interruption to indicate out an "impressive give-and-take choice." I'll portion how the give-and-take puts to a greater extent than of a visual ikon inwards my caput than a weaker synonym would. I as well as then tape the give-and-take onto a Post-It note. I write the word, the championship of the majority it was constitute in, as well as it's meaning.  We stick the Post-Its onto the Word Collection Board. 

I encourage students to exercise the same during independent reading times. They stick their words correct side yesteryear side to the board. H5N1 few times a calendar week I see those notes from the wall as well as convey them to our writer's workshop minilesson as well as invite those friends to portion their words. Before long they are bringing inwards words they honour when reading at home. 

Here's the best part. When a educatee uses i of the words from the board inwards his ain writing, he adds a tally to a nautical chart underneath. This encourages them to survive on the spotter for novel vocabulary as well as to ever survive thinking virtually the words they usage inwards writing. 

To exercise this board I...
  • used my Cricut to cutting out the letters for the championship (you could usage bulletin board letters or stickers)
  • mounted the letters onto bluish cardstock as well as mounted the cardstock onto scrapbook paper
  • displayed them higher upward a slice of dark posterboard turned positioned horizontally
  • framed out both pieces alongside colored ribbon to aid define the space
