    Re: word wall
    Posted by ga8 on 9/10/08

    It's going to sound absolutely ridiculous, however, we
    started using word walls 5 years ago, and needed to come up
    with a way to encourage my kids to actually look at the
    words that I painstakingly am required to put on a wall.

    Sooooo...anytime one of the word wall words comes up, I
    raise my hand to my mouth like I'm playing a bugle and do
    a "dum du du duuuummmm" noise (I know, it sounds silly). My
    kids then have to throw their hands in the air and
    should "word wall!". We then direct our attention to the
    specific word on the wall and then carry on.

    This is with 8th grade, by the way, and as elementary as it
    sounds, they really do get into it. In fact, one of my
    classes added the wave to their word wall call. My
    administrators think it's fantastic.
