Word Collection Boxes

Another vocabulary building, reading project-inspired idea is “Word Collection Boxes”.  This also comes from The Cafe Book by "the sisters", Gail Boushey and Joan Moser.  For each theme or unit, we will choose a few important vocabulary words and post them on our “Word Station” (leftover from our days of Four Blocks and Word Walls but works with our travel/adventure theme).  As we finish the unit, we will decide, as a class which few words are most important and we want to remember.  We will add those to our Word Collection.

At first, we will do this as a class.  But eventually we hope that students will choose which words are most important to them and record them in their own word collections.
