My first grade walk-to group has been working on their heart words for a few weeks now. We have played games on the SmartBoard and in the classroom along with practiced with our flash cards, but yesterday I decided to switch it up a little! The students had to create pictures using pattern blocks while reading the words. Their creativity and innovation really shined as they used the different blocks to create the shapes. It was so fun to watch their little hands and minds work!
My fifth grade walk-to group did their first week of centers and they worked so hard! One group read an instructional level text with me, then we focused on restating the question in written answers. The other group played Kaboom! with their sight words. The laughs and smiles filled the room!
