Word Wall Headers and Word Cards

I would love to tell you that my best selling item of all time is some sort of academic tried and tested product like my Letter Writing Unit, but no it is not!  My best selling item is a simple set of word wall headers.  Taking what little business knowledge I have, I decided maybe making word wall headers in other color combos and sizes might be a good idea!  So, I did.   I went a bit overboard and created 22 plus sets!  Scroll down, I am sure there is a set that will catch your eye.  I searched the internet for some borders to match.   Just click on the images to check them out.

PS – Thanks for all the love and compliments on my fan page and blog post!  I truly appreciate you!

All of my “Large” sets are $2 each!  
Large Bright Polka Dot Word Wall Headers and Large Bright Polka Dot Word Wall Cards
Large Owls & Bright Polka Dot Word Wall Headers (these match the word wall words above.)
These are some of the borders I currently use in my classroom.  They are from Frog Street Press. 
      
My sets from last year:
    

More Polka Dots!

 Large Black and White Polka Dotted Word Wall Headers and Word Wall Word Cards
   
These Large Owls and B&W Polka Dots Word Wall Headers go with my B&W Polka Dot Word Wall Cards above.

 Large B&W Polka Dotted Word Wall Headers with Ladybugs and Word Wall Cards.
 Large Bright Chevron Word Wall Headers and Word Wall Cards

The lime and purple chevron borders would also go with this set below.

 Large Bright Chalkboard Word Wall Headers and Word Wall Cards
 Large Black and White Woof!  Word Wall Headers and Word Cards

Large Wild Animal Print Word Wall Headers and Word Wall Cards
 Large Silly Turquoise and Red Word Wall Headers and Word Wall Cards
  
 Large Ladybug Word Wall Headers and Word Wall Words
 
 Large Monkey Themed Word Wall Headers and Word Wall Cards
  

Large Cow Print Word Wall Headers and Word Wall Word Cards
  
 Large Apple Themed Word Wall Headers and Word Wall Cards
   
    
 Large Frogs and Green Polka Dots Word Wall Headers and Word Wall Cards
  
Ocean Themed Word Wall Headers and Ocean Themed Word Wall Cards
 Large Primary Polka Dot Word Wall Headers and Word Wall Cards
My sets from last year: 
   

 Large Primary Chevron Word Wall Headers and Word Wall Cards

Large Black Line Master Word Wall Headers and Word Wall Words.  Perfect to save on ink!  Print on colored paper to create your own looks. 
Here is a photo of the Large Headers and the the Large Word Wall Word Cards printed out at full size. 

 In each packet, I give directions on how to print at a reduced size.  This way, teachers wanting really large cards that can be placed above closets, will be happy.  Try printing a test page first to see which size works best for you!

I was able to find many different brands of borders under one store at MPM School Supplies.   Just click here to shop by borders.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope I can help make your classroom word wall really pop!   I would love it if you shared photos of your finished word wall on my FB page.

I don’t think I will get to any more word wall sets this summer.  I have some half-done sets, but I really need to get moving on different projects.  If you have ideas for me for next year, leave them in the comments.

    Thanks so much for posting these…and for putting them on sale! I feel like I have been re-working my word wall every year for the past few years due to space concerns and "cuteness" factors! When I saw you post the frog headings, I was hopeful that you would create words to go with them! I'm heading over now to shop…

    It may not be your best seller, but I love your letter writing unit. This was my first year using it and my students loved it and wrote some great letters – so thanks!

    You've been very busy! I love so many of them, it would be so hard to choose just one. You do amazing work. I've seen people all over the blogging world talking about your word wall headers, don't feel bad that your best selling item isn't a tried & tested unit, the word wall is still a very helpful tool for students, especially the little ones & you've made it very appealing to the eye for them.

    Hello Erica,
    Maybe next school year you can make a classroom decor pack for your silly turquoise and red word wall set.

    I just purchased your chevron word card set. However, there is no chevron background on the bottom two words of each slide. Can you help me?

These are my absolute favorite first-week books for building classroom community, easing those first-day jitters, and setting a positive tone from day one.

How do you handle this situation? Do you put the How do you handle this situation?  Do you put the new student at the end of the alphabetical list or do you start over with a new one?
I know I am next for a new student (I have 24 kids and everyone else has 25), so I am holding off until the night before the first day.  I wish I could just wait but I like modeling where their bags and mail goes, both of which are set up using numbers.

True story: One year on the first day, I had a no show.  Then I was assigned a new student.  That student fit perfectly in the alphabetical order spot that was left.  I should have played the lottery or something.  What were the odds of that?!

5 things that are worth the money for your classro 5 things that are worth the money for your classroom!

1. A color printer.  We don’t have color printers at school and this has saved me from having to remember to print something at home. I brought in mine from home and then bought a new one for home. 
2. MacBookAir - This is my personal laptop.  I bring it home on weekends and holidays but for the most part I keep it at school.  I did need approval to get it on our district WiFi, which meant my phone could not also be on the WiFi.  There is a one device per teacher rule.
3. A lay-flat binder for my plan book, dismissal binder, and sub binder.  These save so much space and they are flexible. 
4. A laminator at school and a laminator at home.  It took me many years before I caved and bought another one but again, it saves me from remembering to laminate at home and I can also laminate during snack time and preps. Matte laminating is also worth the splurge.
5. My teacher toolbox! This toolbox has been with me for over 10 years, I just change out the labels to go with my decor theme.  Everything has a place and it keeps my desk organized.

Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for th Teacher Tip: Sort and store your printables for the upcoming weeks in a file tray above drawers for the days of the week.  This helps to keep you organized for the weeks ahead.
Save and use leftover colored copies as dividers. This makes them less bulky, than if you had used binder clips.
When you near the end of the week, pull the papers from the tray and sort into the weekday drawers and centers.
