Data Wall in Our Classroom

We have started a data wall in our classroom.  It includes different types of information pertaining to different subjects and how well we are doing individually and as a class.  Currently we have data graphs for math, books we have read, and minutes we have read at home.  We will also soon add graphs for spelling, and reading fluency (cardinal time).  These graphs do not include any names but use stickers, pictures, lines, etc to represent where our class fell on certain tasks.  For example for the Unit 1 math test, a sticker was put up in a box 4, 3, 2, or 1 to represent how our class did.  For the books we have read graph, every time a student finishes a book they put a sticker up to represent that book being finished.  We will use these graphs and others to set classroom and individual goals for the future.  The hope is that our classroom motivation will skyrocket! Take a look at them when you are here at conference, we are already seeing positive results!
