When setting up classrooms for the new year, we have seen many teachers in recent years designate a bulletin board or whiteboard space to creating a Focus Wall. This is a great place to display thematic vocabulary, featured I can statements, and resources for students to review during learning activities. We love this idea because it limits the amount of visual clutter added to the walls throughout the year by containing all of the most important information to one location and changing it out when learning units change. Today's Academic Area highlights some of the Focus Wall ideas we have seen out in our districts.
