Color Coding

Funded Feb 23, 2024

First and foremost, thank you for gifting our class with a color printer. From very early on in the year, I knew that implementing color coding strategies would benefit my english-lingual learners. Kindergarten is such a foundational grade level and learning should be as explicit as possible. Alongside engaging slides that are used to teach interactive lessons, I also almost always create my own worksheets so that I may cater to my students learning needs.

Color coding specific lines in a sentence frame allows my students to know what kind of word belongs on that line. They understand that if a line is red, a red word (which are always action words) belongs on that line. If they see a blue line, they understand that a noun belongs on that line. Other concepts such as sequence words have also been color coded green, yellow and red, respectively. Students have grasped such a great deal of understanding with these routines and they feel so accomplished and proud when they are able to complete sentence frames! Thank you for allowing them to feel their very best.”

With gratitude,
