Well, summer is officially drawing to a close... Hope everyone is ready for a fantastic school year. I was finally able to get into my classroom (I was switched to a new room over the summer) and WHOA, was it a mess!! After some reorganizing, purging, and cleaning, I am super happy with my new space. We lost two of our Interventionists this year- (I'll miss you Jamie and Karen!!!) so we are in the process of hiring two more before October. Luckily this year, we are only going to be two to a room instead of three. Can't tell you how happy I am about that. Anyway...
Since we have a room that needs to be shared, I set up two very large free-standing white boards to bisect the room. It helps with noise and to keep the kids from being too distracted. I have been racking my brain trying to think of something to do with these monsters. At first I was going to cover them just like bulletin boards or use them to hang anchor charts. But then it hit me- these would be perfect for constructing a word wall! I didn't have the wall space to do that last year, and I think it would help my students so much with their sight word recognition and their writing.
I am going to use washi tape or duct tape to separate my boards into squares- kinda like this:
So, without further ado, here is the perfect freebie this week- an adorable chevron (it's all the rage!) word wall letters set.
