#1stchat we have done a new approach to teaching sight words by word families and students seem to be picking them up quicker also using more whole passages during small groups
We use the engineering design process for all that we do (ASK, IMAGINE, PLAN, CREATE, IMPROVE), try to incorporate into our units, we use Engineering is Elem kits for some things #1stchat
Looks fun, but I couldn't do it all the time! I'm too much of a wimp. I like my 70 degree winters.😊I did love seeing how excited the kids were though. #1stchat

Hi all!! Sara from Wi. K-5 Digital Learning Specialist, former 1st grade. Sorry I'm late! Had to finish a few things for this week before jumping on! #1stchat
OOOOH, another great idea! Thank you! Very cute. I saw something similar on a bigger square tile, but they were like .50 a piece so that adds up. #1stchat

We have added a center were we make word art with the words from this site https://t.co/b3YePm26Zq. Then put in sheet protectors. I pull a word and the students have 30 seconds to find it as many times as they can. #1stchat
