Above is our Focus Wall with all the ELA weekly posters and vocabulary words. Below is our Writing Wall. I hang students' writing each week. I love that this wall is right next to the door because visitors always see our best work!
Above is the Word Wall, a great reference for student writing. Below is our Dictation Wall. Each month, we do themed dictations and I take students' pictures. This has been great for all my EL's because we have the opportunity to talk about and relate to the different months, holidays, and seasons. My students love seeing their pictures up on the wall and it's perfect for memory books at the end of the year! I love looking through them at the end of the year and seeing how each student has grown.
This is our classroom library and Calendar Wall (don't mind the extra tables, they will be moved soon). This is also where extra work or art projects are hung, and we have a little graph area where we graph our favorite things throughout the year. I am LOVING my new Calendar Wall this year! The actual calendar set was from the Target dollar spot and the month signs have themed decorations! Another great thing for my ELs and so much more fun than my boring month signs from last year. I also downloaded some of these calendar pieces from Wild About Firsties. We count the days of school with the ten frames and the hundreds chart. I use dot stickers to count each day and dry-erase markers to write the numbers and the date. I used different colored dot stickers to help kids count and see the different parts of ten. I love having the ten frames to count the days because it exposes students to ten frames and teaches them to count by fives and tens.
