A few months back I was contacted by Mommypage and asked to do an interview. Of course I was very excited. I enjoy doing interviews like these because it gives me a chance to talk about all the wonderful things that happen in the blog world and to mention some of my favorite companies.

Last week I was talking with my principal and we were talking about the importance of having an academic words word wall. I have always had a word wall, but normally I come up with these words based on the lessons I teach. This year, I decided to do this differently. Instead of teaching and then coming up with vocabulary, I referred to the common core suggested vocabulary and created my word wall. Of course, I will not introduce these words until I teach the lesson. The reason I like doing it this way is because it helps ensure that I use the common core terminology when teaching and do not leave out any terms. If you would like your own copy of the 4th grade math vocabulary word wall words follow the link to my TPT store. The unit is 20 pages and only cost $3.
