3rd 4th split Word wall advice?
by Lisa
Nov 19, 2008
Hi, I have some training in 4 Blocks. I am working Internationally and time is more limited. This year for the first time I am doing a split. I have 2 third graders and 4 fourth graders. Reading levels are all over the place but all are reading above grade level. I would love to do a word wall, but it seems that the 3rd graders need something totally different from the 4th graders and there literally is not enough time or space to do 2 different word walls. We have 90 minutes for reading and language arts per day. Any advice on how to do word walls with a split class? Thanks

Emily Lisa,

You can color code the word wall or word list using different color markers or different color sentence strips.

lisa I could but the real problem is doing word wall activities. I don't just want a large scale reference. Also, I have very little time. We only have 90 minutes for Reading and Language Arts. I feel very pressed for time and don't feel like I can do two different sets of activities. My room is so small 20x10 that I can't get a group far enough away no...See More

JJ I taught 3/4th and I did a word wall for everyone w/ high frequency words. We used it more like a dictionary. Instead, I met with small groups and did spelling words (5 a week) based on level (I had 4 groups.) They did an activity each day with the words. It wasn't four blocks exactly, but I found that it didn't work so well in a 3/4 class.
