My name is Patti and I like picture books.⁠
⁠
This is why I created a full-year literacy program at three different grade levels all using picture books as the basis of three weekly units. ⁠

What is your favourite picture book?

Do you use word walls in your junior classroom? ⁠
⁠
Whether you do or don’t, I’d love to hear your reasons why! ⁠
⁠
If you want to hear my thoughts, I’m talking all about it in the latest episode of Teaching with Madly Learning. ⁠
⁠
I’m getting into why I think word walls are going to look different in junior classrooms than they do in primary classrooms, how you can make sure you are using yours effectively, and more.⁠
⁠
Listen on your favorite podcast platform!

Want to save yourself some time. ⁠
⁠
See that pretty graphic organizer that I made on my computer. The same one that is going to require me to print it out and photocopy it (or convert it to a google slide for remote learning) ⁠
⁠
What if I told you that even though I made it I rarely use it in my classroom day to day. ⁠
⁠
In fact, I save myself some time by simply requiring my students to make it themselves. Then I can only provide the printed on to those who really truly need it. ⁠
⁠
Now I know that it won't look as neat as my handwritten one here with three straight lines all evenly spaces on the page. ⁠
⁠
In fact, what my students may create will most likely be a hot mess express. ⁠
⁠
...BUT⁠
⁠
If it organizes the information I want them to organize then that's a paper diet, I don't have time to prep today because I was up with a sick kid all night kind of win. ⁠

Can I tell you a secret? In my junior classroom, I don't want a word wall.⁠
⁠
I don't want to take up all the space that a word wall requires when there are so many things I could be putting up there.⁠
⁠
However, there are definitely still uses for subject-specific word walls, so we are going to talk about them in the latest episode of Teaching with Madly Learning. ⁠
⁠
I’ll give you some ideas for different types of word walls, and how you can make them more accessible to your students. ⁠
⁠
If you’re been wondering whether or not you should keep doing them, this episode will help you make up your mind.
