Have an old Jenga game (or this cute one from Amazon)?
Turn it into hands-on literacy learning!
Many times our students just need more time to apply everything they’re learning. Games are a great way to do this!

I will admit I was a bit hesitant to start a chapter book with my first grade intervention groups.
I was totally wrong! It went SO well! The Zoey and Sassafras series was a huge hit with this age group. We were able to read one chapter per day right before or after lunch.
How does it go for you and do you have any books to recommend? Thanks!

TGIF! I woke up super early this morning because 1) it’s Friday and 2) I can finally share this secret I’ve been holding onto!
This email was just sent out explaining it all OR check out my stories today to learn more.
DM if you want to be on the early 🐦list to learn more! 🤓

How do you teach and practice digraphs? In my intervention groups, we hit it from all angles 😊 once I think my students "got it," we throw in examples and non-examples (i.e.: sorting activities) just to make sure!
My huge hands-on packet has games, tasks for small groups and centers, plus data tracking. It just got a digital upgrade with seesaw slides!

I truly believe this! It doesn't take a fancy incentive system and or the latest gadget (although those can be fun, too!). Please pass it on ❤️

Thinking about how distracted I can get during PD,

Thinking about how distracted I can get during PD, imagine how our young students feel!
How do you handle this?
I was sometimes guilty of NOT wanting to take a break when things were going well - as in, why would I want to interrupt that?
On the flip side, it’s hard to feel like providing breaks when things are feeling tense or negative. Why reward that?
Over time, I learned that consistent breaks are important whether things are going well or not. I feel that breaks don’t fall into the category of “deserved” or “earned,” but instead they are simply developmentally appropriate.
Do you agree?
