Word Walls
Word walls are an essential part of every classroom! They are a great way to give students access to content that is being covered in class. Word walls can also contain pictures that help students associate the words with sounds, letters, or topics. I love the use of pictures paired with words. I am a visual learner, so seeing words and pictures on the walls in school always helped.
I found a good link that explains word walls and how to use them in the classroom. See the link below.

I plan on using word walls to teach students vocabulary directed at specific topics such as conjuctions, muscle groups, sight words, and math
facts.
I believe word walls are a great way to provide knowledge to students at the tips of their fingers.
Below are links to some word walls that I found that could be useful in my classroom.

This is a portable word wall. What a great way for students to access information and take it back to their seats.

This is a phonic sound wall. I see this very useful for younger students just learning how to read.

Its always hard to get students to recognize the vocabulary associated with adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. This word wall helps make that easier.
