    A6: To max S engagement...especially those "hard to reach" S's, must have a good villain. #3rdchat
  • hmarrs24 Oct 25 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A7: During our "Space Camp" Ss could earn these items. Each was worth a secret # of XP points. Ss were excited to cash them in! #3rdchat
  • hmarrs24 Oct 25 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    Here are some more items I created for my Ss. I made these in Adobe Spark Post. Took only a few minutes each. Then print & cut! #3rdchat
  • DonnaWeth Oct 25 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    Snaffling! Love it! I play with my family too but it could definitely be used for vocabulary! Great idea! #3rdchat
