Wish you could make your student's writing a little more colourful?
Found at
Mrs. Kelly's Klass, she let us in on her wonderful way to add some colour to our student's writing! Using paint chips, which can easily be picked up for free at your local home hardware/paint store, provide students with various and interesting vocab to replace overused and boring words. It's a wonderfullly visual way to illustrate that these words all mean the same thing, but are a good way to become a better writer. The concept can be re-iterated by showing that each of the colours on a paint chip are the same (they are all blue, or all green, etc), but that each is unique and makes it interesting.
I also loved the way that Mrs. Kelly put them on a binder ring - perfect for space-saving storage, plus it makes it really easy for the children to pick up and bring over to their desks when they need it.
Thanks so much for sharing Mrs. Kelly!
Hope you all enjoy,
Ms. Feeney
