Students used this mini bulletin board as a reference when reading 5 sentences and having to figure out the unknown word.

I think this mini bulletin board was very helpful during this entire week for students. It was colorful, informative and also helped students remember what context clues were. Overall, I think this could be posted in a language arts classroom just as a reminder to students what context clues are.
