WORD WALL






Today we did Word Wall. Word Wall is when we practise how to spell words. Five people got to choose a word each from the word wall. We chose the words May, got, look, very and like. We did word wall chants to practise how to spell them. We did Scream It/Whisper It and Tiger Bounce. After that we wrote the words on our partner's back and they had to try and guess the word.
We had lots of fun and we think it is a great way to learn our words!

Hello 2R Shining Stars!

We're the Smarties, a grade 2 class from Western Australia. We love your blog! We found it when we were looking at the 2M Gems.

Love from the Smarties

Hi Shining Stars,

We do Word Wall too. So far we've used the chants Movie Star Kisses, Alligator Snap, Robot, Slow Mo, Marshmellow Clap, Dribble & Shoot, Volcano, Opera, Fishing, Tennis, Rollercoaster, Disco and Baseball but our FAVOURITE chant is ELVIS!

We love WORD WALL. We haven't tried writing a word on a partner's back yet. We'll try that today.

Hi from Canada!
Our class plays word wall games too. Sometimes we play "I'm thinking of a word . . . and the teacher or a student gives clues about that word and we all try to guess what it is.
We like your blog A LOT. We have joined the blogging challenge as we are just learning about blogging.
Have a great day!
