Did somebody say WORD WALLS?

As I write this post, I can hear the buzzing and whirring of the lawn guys weedeating around my front yard and horse barn. Nothing says "good morning" like strangers in the yard and my Dad on the tractor!

Good morning! :)

Nope, no coffee for this girl. I cut out caffeine about a year ago. (I know, right?) I'm thinking about it seriously. I am not exactly the poster girl for "morning people." I stay up late at night working on my newest creations. A gold star for the first person to guess what I have been working on. :)) How about a gold star with GLITTER on it? :)

Yes, indeed friends, I have been working on Word Wall card sets! A requested item, that I wanted to make to coordinate with some of my classroom decor sets.

Here's a peek of some of the sets I've made:













Each of these word wall sets include BOTH the 340+ word cards AND matching headers (A-Z).  The bee theme has honeycomb header cards (to be different!) and the farm theme has barn headers. :)  The remaining themes have cute circle headers.  I will have more sets in the series by the end of the weekend.  I am working on a few different shaped pieces!!

Word Walls are a fun way to practice and reinforce words with your students.  I have used word wall sets to play learning games with too. The kids have so much fun, they don't realize that they are learning.  Their confidence grows as they are able to seek out the words, and use them in a sentence.  Word wall sets can also be used for writing practice activities!  

Are you gearing up for Back to School?  I will be hosting a "Giveaway" this week,  stay tuned for details!  I did not celebrate a few of my milestones for various reasons, so I decided to have a giveaway "just because."  I hope you'll come back and celebrate with me! :)

P.S.  I am participating in a Bloggy Friend linky party hosted by A Teacher's Idea.  Click on the graphic below to visit her Blog and check out the other blogs also linked up!!


Have a great weekend!!
