What in the world is a grammar wall?

Man, alive!  Have I been busy!  My brain has been swimming with things to do in order to get ready for my little peanuts.  Now, we've been in school for almost two weeks.  Things are settling down a little bit with my 26 kindergarteners.  You read correctly... 26.  They are a pretty easy going group, so I think we'll be just fine.

One of my big projects this summer was to make a grammar wall for the ELL kids at our school.  While half of my class was tested last year (we have a high population of kids that are bilingual), none of them qualified for services.  There is a new testing procedure this year, so we're all set in case any of our kids qualify for services.

How are we ready?  Well, we have a new grammar wall.  When I first heard about a grammar wall, I had no idea what to add to my wall.  I searched the internet, and saw what I had to make.  Truthfully, I think it would be a great resource for any classroom.  In the file, there are color coded cards for you to organize the words.  My fabulous co-worker found these center pocket charts (from Lakeshore) that match each part of speech (besides suffixes and prefixes) as well.

So, I'm going to add it as my first freebie of the school year.  Click here to download.  I know this will be an awesome addition to your classroom.  :)
