A Pocket Full of Synonyms Bulletin Board Pack

July 11, 2013 By fancyfreein4th

Last year I had a small synonym word wall with 15 overused word that I challenged my students to avoid as much as possible in their writing. 
They LOVED going to the board to seek out better words while writing and revising their work.  This summer I haves added 16 more words to the list of overused word that I want them to avoid and have bundled them all together in this pack:
     This set is an interactive bulletin board that will be a perfect edition to your classroom! Included are 31 of the most overused words that I am challenging my class to exclude from their writing. Here’s the list of words that I have included:
Each of these words has a page of 8 synonyms to replace it with a more impressive word.
In addition, each overused word is included on a cute pocket that is perfect to display on a bulletin board as a fun, interactive word wall.
 Simply print, laminate, cut out and staple the pockets to the bulletin board. Then place the laminated synonyms strips inside each pocket for your students to select from. 
Go ahead and pick up this 64 page pack of synonym goodness here at my TpT store. This is a great way to get your students using different, more elevated vocabulary as well as crete a super cute bulletin board that the students will LOVE using.
ANOTHER DISPLAY IDEA:
I found these CUTE French Fry containers in the Target Dollar Spot and I am going to use these to display my synonyms…

    This is such a cute idea! I was at Target today but didn't see these. I will have to keep my eye out for them or I can just use library pockets. I wanted to do something like this last year and call them "Fancy Nancy Words".

While the phrase, ā€œOpen schoolsā€ bothers me be While the phrase, ā€œOpen schoolsā€ bothers me because it minimizes the HUGE lengths that teachers have gone through this past year. Where we, in a split moment, closed our classrooms and said goodbye to our students not knowing how this was going to play out. No matter whether we are teaching virtually, hybrid or even in a social distanced format...school has never been closed. Teachers went from being called heroes šŸ¦øā€ā™€ļø a year ago to being strongly criticized and undervalued. I am so proud and inspired by all of my teacher friends who have had to reinvent the wheel this year. I am so relieved that this is the first step back to the classroom setting where the students will continue to learn, flourish and be like ā€œthe good ole daysā€. Dose one done āœ…. One step closer to being back in the classroom, IRL!
Spending this lazy Sunday afternoon writing šŸ’•Va Spending this lazy Sunday afternoon writing šŸ’•Valentine’s to my students. I am writing different figurative language notes on each postcard. Then we are going to share them on GoogleMeets during our morning meeting and vote which figurative language is on each student’s post card! You can take the teacher out of the classroom but they will still find ways to engage; no matter the distance! This year I have to mail these to my students ((because of distance learning)) but who doesn’t love some good ole snail mail 🐌 šŸ’Œ.
This isn’t the best picture, but that’s not th This isn’t the best picture, but that’s not the point...

I love being a teacher. I am aways challenged and get to be creative (especially these past 11 months). I feel at home at my school, and I’ve missed it so much since working at home. My district is in a zip code that is highly impacted with COVID-19, and we have felt the effects tremendously. Everyday, I am amazed by how resilient my students have been since their little world’s šŸŒ changed on March 13th, 2020. It’s been one, wild ride, reinventing teaching, trying to stay motivated, trying to keep them engaged while feeling supported and seen. Yet,  I’m hopeful this chapter soon will end. Amidst all of the unexpected and difficult things that have happened this last year... there’s still a lot of good out there. Look at this šŸ’› glimmer of hope and goodness. My uncle and Father in Law just made a class set of desks for my students (plus 30 more for other kids at my school). They used their stimulus money to give back to my school community. This desk will be their own special spot, and memory of the time we learned from home. I’m feeling really grateful and I can’t wait to see past the masks and imagine the smiles that my students will have when they pick these new family heirlooms up on Friday!
Sometimes it is all about the little goals you mak Sometimes it is all about the little goals you make for 2021. Ones like drinking more water and making sure to stand while distance teaching. I miss the days of walking around the classroom, running down the the stairs to grab my class after recess and hopping into a coworkers classroom at lunch.
Cheers to the New Year. I felt like I needed a lon Cheers to the New Year. I felt like I needed a longer winter break but as soon as the school day started, it was game on. I was so excited to see my students online, ready to learn. I am constantly in awe of how resilient they are and how even though we have yet to be together in person, we have created such a supportive and close community. We giggle, we work, we do the best we can and feel good about it together.
