Good afternoon everyone! I am so excited to link up to my first Monday Made It!
I have been busy over the summer and I’m excited to share. Since I teach Spanish, I feel that it is important to immerse my students in the vocabulary and culture as much possible in the 52 minutes they are with me. I loved the idea of a word wall, but I’m in a tiny portable, and I wanted something image-based. That’s where my vocabulary posters come in. The pictures are a little blurry because of the lamination, but I hope you can see them well enough.

| The first set is Chapter 2 (we use ¡Exprésate!) and it’s two separate posters. |

| This set is Chapter 3 and it’s actually four posters, but I seem to have misplaced the little “Me gusta…” card…) |
So far, I have only made them for chapters 2 and 3 of Spanish 1, but I hope to have all of Spanish 1 finished by the time school starts back. I haven’t decided yet if I want to have the posters hanging up all year, or if I want to post them as we start each chapter. Any thoughts?
Hi Rachel. I love the idea of using visual vocabulary posters. The pictures will definitely help the students remember the vocabulary. I would probably put the posters up at the beginning of the unit and then take them down after another unit or so. It would probably become over-stimulating to have all of the posters up at one time. Good luck!

That sounds like a good idea, especially considering my lack of wall space. Thanks!
Rachel! I love your blog and the use of visual vocabulary! I taught 9th grade the last few months of last school year, and this school year, I will be teaching 7th grade. I have made my vocab for my word wall as well, and there are A LOT of words. I plan on putting them up on a unit by unit basis.

Hi Rachel,
Nice blog… I just found out that I am leaving first grade & moving to a Spanish enrichment position (K-5). I will be visiting often for some tips.
