Learning is often disguised as play in our classroom. What better way to engage and involve our kids, all while having fun?
As we are introduced to 5 new words each week, the words are placed on our Word Wall, which is front and center in our classroom!
We play engaging games to practice our words! Have a look at this week's fun!
Head Hunters
Each student stuck a sword to their noggin'. Everyone received a chart with all of the classmates' names. Then off they went, reading and recording the words stuck to their friends' heads!
Roll and Read
Find a buddy and roll the dice! Read any word from the row you rolled!
Shaving Cream
Always a hit! Spread it on our desk and get spelling! Bonus? Our desks smell fresh!
WORDO
Wordo is like bingo! Students fill a blank 3x3 grid with our words. Then, using a spinner with our words, words are drawn! If one of their words is selected, they trace over it with a crayon. If a word is selected that they don't have, they print it outside the grid. Lots of opportunity for practice (and fun)!
The idea behind our weekly words is to encourage the students to interact with foundational words in an engaging way...and doesn't this look engaging?
