In addition to our regular weekly Word Wall Words, each student has the opportunity to work on words that are specific to their spelling needs. About once a week, each child picks one word from his or her personal word wall. S/he makes this word in many ways, hopefully helping them retain the correct spelling. The kids came up with many ways we could use our classroom materials to make our personal word wall words:
 |
| Using our bodies...can you see the word "look"? |
 |
| Play-doh! |
 |
| Different math materials |
 |
| Math materials, like links |
 |
| Pipe cleaners |
 |
| of course, LEGOS! |
 |
| Legos is definitely challenging, but a favorite. |
After a few activities, Kierstyn realized that she didn't need to refer to her Personal Word Wall anymore, and she could spell her word with her eyes closed. When she shared this, many others were able to do this, too...goal accomplished!
Here is a video of our first official Personal Word Wall Spelling Workshop!
