I have taught a 2/3 multi age, and this year will be doing
3/4 and looking forward to it. In the past, I have always
used the higher-level Word Wall words for my spelling. We

students choose their words, and do you still incorporate a
Word Wall into your room? I would find it so difficult to
find time to do both. Thanks for your input!
