A nice person said to me, "You know those Word of the Day cards you had posted in that classroom many months ago? They are still there. There are no new ones at all; Just the ones you made. That means that the teacher who is in there is not continuing what you started nor using the cards. So they are yours and I got them for you."
So I have taken pictures of them so that my readers will see how they are done. There is braille on each card. The later ones have sentences authored by the children. Remember these kids are eight to ten years old so don't ever think that the words have to be limited to third and fourth grade words. They were from the school-wide word of the day, current events, class activities, web sites and from those the children brought in themselves.
When our WOD Word Wall was full, the WOD was "ARCHIVE." The children would then pull the words down and put them in the archive-- which is simply a large manila envelope taped to the wall--and we'd fill the wall with new words. Sometimes for fun I would make an Intellitools activity from about ten of the words. I'd ask the children for their own sentences for the activity. They loved this and they'd get extra points in laguage arts.
If you should go to the Intellitools Activity Exchange site look for my uploads under the screen name "MsKathy0724."
