Atlas Word Wall: the teacher's guide, a page of word cards such as Pharaoh and Sphinx, and the world banners.

How it works

  1. Print and cut. Card stock is best. Four cards to a page, two banners to a page.
  2. Put it up by world. A banner heads each world, and the colored edge shows where every card belongs.
  3. Use it every day. Word of the day, sorting, matching and more: ideas are in the guide.

Questions

What grades is it for?

Grades 2 to 8. The definitions are short and written for children; older students can use the glossary for research.

Does it go with the Classroom Pack?

Yes. The words come from the same places as the Classroom Pack's fact cards and worksheets, so the two work well together.

Can I copy it for my students?

Yes, as many copies as your class needs. One purchase is for one teacher's classroom or one home; please don't share the file online.
