I should be in my classroom next Tuesday! I can’t wait to
start working and putting everything together. This week I have been printing
out all of the things I have made and bought from TPT. I’m using a record
breaking amount of ink and cardstock.
My main focus today has been putting together everything I need
for my popcorn word wall. After printing out my word cards I decided that I
wanted to add some sort of background to them. I am a really visual person and
I know that colors really help things stick in my head. So, I really wanted to
use different colors to help the words stand out to my kids. I found these perfect index cards at Mardel.
Red, yellow, green, blue and black polka dots!
I just printed and glued all of my popcorn words in the middle of each
card and ta-da a perfect border! My popcorn word wall cards fit perfectly on
any type of index card.
Then, this is how I organize my word cards.
(I need to print my cute label)
I found the index card organizer ($2.99) and tabs (around $2) at Mardel too! It's so easy to find the word I'm looking for : )

Thank you Erica! I'm trying to stay as organized as possible this year!
DeleteCongrats on getting to go into your new room. That is really fun! Your cards look great! It looks like you have a lot of words too. How many words do you put on your K word wall? (I am a new follower)
ReplyDeleteI have word cards for the 100 HFW from Fountas and Pinnell plus the number words and colors. There is no way I would ever display all of the words or use them at once. But, I wanted to make sure that I have them to choose from : )
DeleteYou are so smarty- what a great idea to find index cards. I had no idea they even made them. I know what you mean about the ink. I had to buy some yesterday. I was out after just a week! Good job on those word cards!

Wish I could find index cards this cute in NZ! No luck so far :( I am a beginning teacher and what I really want to know is when do you change your words around? I understand the not putting them up all at once but when do I rotate them? I'm so caught up in everything else that it feels a bit like something I'd never get round to...
ReplyDeleteI found these at Mardel! Look online : ) I have specific words for each six weeks and just add on each six weeks period! : ) if you keep them laminated and magnetic and ready to go its easy! : )
