While setting up my new classroom, I decided to use one board for specifically word study and writing center. The good part about this is that the words are all magnetic, so if I need the board I can easily take it down and not have to remove staples. I start the word wall by having all the students' names on the wall first. They decorate a tag with their name and place it up. It gives the students ownership of the word wall and helps them spell names! This will be used each week as the students learn new spelling words. The spelling words will be put in the proper place. The words stay up all year long and we add to it each week. Students can see spelling rules and patterns.
