Owl Word Wall Pack Updated

So... I got my owl word wall put up the other day and just wasn't loving it. It looks super duper cute on paper but once up on the wall it just wasn't super visible. I updated my pack to contain 3 versions of the letter cards and I love the new set! Here is a preview for you.

If you already purchased this pack go download your updated version!

Yesterday, I went to a PBIS meting (Positive Behavior Interventions and Support). My to do list is about a mile long now. Last night I worked until about 8 and then I headed to a certain Office supply store to pick up my plan book that I made. I handed these people my plan book all put together and all they need to do was laminate the front, back and spiral bind the LEFT side. Well I went to pick it up and they spiral bound the top. Hmmmm well this won't work because when you open it the pages are upside down. Okay round two. I got pick it up and they bound it so that my afternoon pages were in the morning. Okay I am pretty sure A.M. still comes before P.M. but I was still sweet as can be. 3rd time... lady says "3rd times a charm". Then she brings the book over to me.... dum dum dum.... IT IS WRONG AGAIN!!!! I didn't freak, but I tell ya I wanted to. I was starting to boil. I wanted to get home before Conner had to go to sleep. We read a stories and snuggle for like an hour every night and this certain Office place, not Office Max btw was holding me up from my favorite part of the day, grrrrr. So on time number 4 I decided that it would be best to walk them through this step by step and voila my simple project turned not so simple is done and I absolutely love it. Next year, however I think I will choose a place that has a copy and print department that knows how to copy and print. 

Happy Friday all! We are watching my sisters two little ones this weekend. They are just so much fun together. So we will have two 2 years old and a 1 1/2 year old for the weekend. Wish us luck! We'll need it!!!

Third Grade Word Wall

Before I tell you about my decision to have a word wall in my classroom I have to tell you about my mega anxiety and frustration with contact paper today... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Did I mention it made me very very angry!!?? I don't know what was going on with me today but it just wasn't happenin'. I was attempting to cover my ugly brown chalk board with black contact paper. Well, it was just not cooperating. The paper was sticking to itself, me, making my freshly spiral curled hair all static-y. Then once I got it on the board it just wanted to be all bumpy.

Long story short, no it's just a long story; my chalk board is no longer poopy brown! Even after all of my frustration it was a success and now I am ready to create my daily math board.

The border is actually turquoise duct tape. I forgot my camera today but I also used the duct tape to recover my kidney table. I promise to show you tomorrow because it turned out beautifully!

Onto the reason for this post! I contemplated whether or not to have a word wall in my classroom. I feel like with my particular group of students it is necessary, especially for the beginning of the year. My plan is to have a word wall to start the year and latter adapt it to also contain prefixes, suffixes, root words, etc. 

Most word wall packs only contain sight words for kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade. I really wanted to make sure that I had words that met the needs of students at all levels and align with what we are working on in class. The pack had words for kindergarten-sixth grade! 

You can find this word wall pack at my TPT store. It contains over 650 sight word cards that can be used for the word wall and/or as flashcards! Of course the pack also comes with super cute letters for the word wall. You can check out the owl version of this pack too!
