Here is a sample of our ever changing Data Wall. The kids add a sticker every time they get a 100% on their spelling tests. As you can see from the sticker chart, we went from less that 50% of the kids achieving a 100% to almost 100% once we started keeping track of the data! The other charts consist of Excel graphs made up of various pieces of classroom data. The post-it notes on the graphs are the students "thinking" in regards to the data. This wall became a great motivational tool for my fifth graders!
Wow! The data chart looks like a very successful way to motivate your students to study their spelling words. I will have to try that out with my fifth graders next school year. Do you put up the stickers to not embarrass students who did not get a 100%? Or do you have the kids put up the stickers in front of their classmates?
ReplyDeleteWhat other data do you include on your wall?
ReplyDeleteWhat are the two different columns?
ReplyDeleteWonderful Idea!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to put one up in my class next year! Quick question though, what are the post it notes for?
