I liked the idea of the focus walls I was seeing on Pinterest and TpT, but they weren’t quite what I needed for my own class. My students aren’t yet reading, so to post a weekly objective or topic wasn’t going to be practical. This is my alternative!
We use it during calendar time and in the first few weeks of school, I’ve already noticed how much of an effect it is having on my students. For example, during the beginning of the school year, we’ve been spending more time on routines, behaviors, colors, numbers, and shapes than a heavy focus on letters and phonics. But my students are picking up the letter names and sounds just from reviewing this board on a daily basis! This has a perfect solution for my students that don’t sit still for long.
Each week I post a new set of cards and hang the old ones on another bulletin board for a quick daily review.
Here’s What’s Included:
♥ Banners: Weekly Focus, Monthly Focus, Focus Wall
♥ 10 Headers: Letter, Number, Color, Colour, Shape, Sight Words, Bible Verse, Theme, Weather, Season
♥ Letter Cards A-Z
♥ Number Cards 0-100
♥ Shape Cards with and without names: Circle, Oval, Square, Rectangle, Triangle, Heart, Star, Diamond, Rhombus, Pentagon, Heptagon, Hexagon, Octagon

♥ 160 Sight Words Cards
♥ Weather Cards: cloudy, rainy, stormy, snowy, sunny, windy

♥ EDITABLE Powerpoint file to add your own sight words or headers!

I use this board in my Kindergarten classroom. The students LOVE it! They come in on Monday morning and immediately go to the board to see what we will be learning this week. I wanted it to be fun , but never anticipated the class interacting with it as much as they do , Thank you for the great idea and colorful components. Maybe you could add more for those us using it in Kinder. 🙂
