Graphing - A Word Wall

Graphing is a task that I love teaching.

Developing a graph from data that students have collected is fun! Noisy but fun!

These Word Wall cards are great for displaying in your classroom.

They have a heading, a description and an illustration.

The size makes them great for display and still easy to see and read.

I add the cards as we learn about the vocabulary about graphing.

Included in this pack is a 'word splash' to do as an individual or it can be added to as a whole grade.

The KWHL is great for capturing what students know before they start, what they want to know, how they think they will find it out and then after the unit of work they can record any new knowledge they have gained.

This is great for sharing with parents at conferences.

This pack is a great pack to help start you off on simple graphing.

Happy graphing!

An update on our focus wall

I have been playing around with our front wall that has our Anchor Charts and Word Walls.

Our Word Wall was too big - took up too much room. It didn't flow and the words didn't stand out.

I wanted a smaller one and wanted to move around the posters, so it was a bit more organised.

I am a bit obsessed with the graphics from Melonheadz and Scrappin Doodles at the moment.

So these cute kids have a letter each and a picture that relates to that letter/sound.

They look great and are smaller and work for us at the moment and fit so much better under our Smartboard.

I love that they are there, as some of my kids work on the floor to write and the words they need are just there at eye level for them.

Now the anchor charts sit better and I have room to add some more writing prompt posters - watch this space for more photos later in the week.

The Daily5 Anchor Charts are free in my stores.

The blue posters - I am happy to email in PDF form for any followers of my blog.
