Word Wall Cheers


Word Wall Cheers
One fun way to practice spelling is to cheer the words.  Here is a list of over 40 different cheers that you can do in your classroom to help you students practice their words in a quick fun way.  Be sure to have your students say the whole word, cheer each letter, then say the whole word again.  I've been using these cheers for years in my kindergarten and first grade classrooms.  I introduce a few each week.  Then, when the kids know them all, I add them as a center activity.  The kids never seem to get tired of them!  Enjoy!

Here is the complete list:
Whisper It
Hand Jive
Raise the Roof

Daily 5 Bulletin Board Poster Set - FREEBIE!






Here is a collection of 6 posters that you can use to facilitate the Daily 5 in your classroom. I created these with high quality graphics so they can be printed as large as poster size. I have them hanging them across a clothesline in my classroom.

Here’s are the posters included:

Daily 5 Choice Boards

My Best Seller!
Here is a resource that I use tho manage the 5 choices in Daily 5.

I use these Choice Boards to manage our Daily 5 routine in our second grade classroom. I print out the pieces and the boards on cardstock and laminate them. Then, I use Velcro to put the 5 choices on each board.

Each day as part of morning chores, my kiddos get a Choice Board and decide in what order they’d like to do their Daily 5. They leave them on their desks as we go through our literacy time. I can see where everyone has been, where they should be, and what they have left.

The boards last all year and I don’t have to spend any time helping the kids decide where they need to be.
