Meaningful Vocabulary

Today we discussed different approaches on how to teach students on meaningful vocabulary. One of the approaches that interested me was the word wall. I learned what a word wall was and the different ways I can implement it into my future classroom. We also discussed the different elements in vocabulary that students should be learning such as homonyms, context clues,  prefixes, compound words, etc. I really liked how Dr. Rivera gave us examples on how to teach these elements in the classroom.

We also had a little raffle at the end of the class which was very nice of Dr. Rivera to do for us!!!

Lastly, here is a picture of our ED357 Reading Methods: Elementary Baby!!!
