I am in process of redoing my word wall. It is a task, but I know I'll like the results. I purchased word strips at Dollar Tree (30 in a pack...3 colors per pack). I place magnets on the back and have a metal word wall. I place them on my magnetic white board for lessons they apply. Students need to hear, see and apply vocabulary for it to truly sink in!! If you don't have ( or use ) a word wall..give it a try!
We were required to have a word wall. I used part of a large bulletin board and just wrote the words of random pieces of colored paper pieces. But I've got to say, the first thing I see when I look at your 'word strips' is WEAVING STRIPS! I loved to do paper weaving with my littles. Nasco sells pre-cut weaving strips and boy does having pre-cut stuff save you a lot of time at the paper cutter!
