Using Wall Space Wisely

Reading Debbie Diller's Spaces and Places has caused me to rethink the way I use every inch of space in my classroom...including the wall space. Here is one example of a recent change I have made in order to make the most of my space.

BEFORE: Lovely "teacher store" posters that were attractive, but basically meaningless to my students

AFTER: Word Families charts that the children and I created together - transforming this wall to a space that the children refer to regularly to support them in their reading and writing
