Week 10, Day 4: Word Walls


Today's best practice: Create a vocabulary word wall for new or weird terms.


We have a large E.L. population at our school. We have been using many E.L. strategies to help these students to succeed for years.


E.L. strategies are just really good best-practices.


One is the word wall. I realized that the word wall helps ALL STUDENTS.
Exert. Magnitude. Property. Left/Right, Contact. These are not the hard sciency words that our curriculum is filled with. Put up a word wall.


Below is a list of Strategies I was given by a former Colleague, Heather Marsh. Thank you Heather.
Look these over. They are common sense. It’s good to be reminded of good sense. I bet you will say, "I do that in my room"
