Color and Number Word Wall (Kindergarten, 2005-2006)- Based on T.L.C. Style Art

I decided to create a dual word wall that focus on both numbers and colors, because my kinders were also working on shapes, I wanted to incorporate "TLC-style" art projects.  

Color Word Wall (First Grade, 2004 - 2005) - Based on Jane Cabrera's Book Cat Colors

Before creating our color word wall "book" we read the book Cat's Colors and then created a class book using 12x18 size construction for the background.  The children then worked in teams to draw an object to depict each color (using black permanent markers).  We then used various art supplies (rocks, glitter, colored sand, yarn, paint, feathers, beads, puff balls, etc, to decorate the objects.  It was a fun project!  The children enjoyed "reading it" during Read-Around-The-Room. 

Number Word Wall (First Grade, 2004 - 2005) - Based on Donald Crew's Book 10 Black Dots

We read the book Ten Black Dots and then created a class book using 12x18 size construction paper (black - - for the background).  The children then choose a number and we made a predictable chart, where students shared their sentence for the story:  "_____ black dots for _________________."    We received many good comments about our wall story (number line).  I wish I had better pictures of this!  I only found ONE picture, but it was of our art teacher, so I had to cut out the parts of the number wall that could be seen.  They are blurry, but you get the gist.  I hope!  :o)

Color Word Wall (Kindergarten, 2003 - 2004) - Based on Donald Crew's Book Freight Train

We read the book Freight Train by Donald Crews, and then created our own "Colors Train."  Each box car depicts a color and houses a variety of objects that are "that" color.  Students were asked to bring things from home.  We also searched the classroom for items of various colors.
