Categories & Scattergories
A picayune chip of "categories"...a little chip of "scattergories." We did both today.
It was actually pure coincidence, but I similar when things stream similar that.
We're studying information in addition to graphing inward math. Ultimately the kiddos volition demand to kind information into categories, position a question, in addition to exercise a visual to correspond their findings.
I know, right?
It's a lot for their picayune 8 twelvemonth former brains to grasp. Ultimately it clicks, but I ever abide by the "forming categories" to live on the near challenging part. We had a breakthrough 2nd today when I related the concept to sections of the grocery shop (produce, canned goods, meats, freezer). Wish I idea of that i sooner.
This afternoon I debuted Scattergories equally our Word Study Activity.
So. Much. Fun!
I'm actually focusing on Word Study equally opposed to precisely "spelling" this twelvemonth in addition to bring been designing around games in addition to activities to buy the farm amongst it. I wanted to come upwardly up amongst around materials that could live on used calendar week later calendar week past times merely changing out the give-and-take patterns. My promise was that they would learn familiar amongst the directions which would brand the activities to a greater extent than efficient in addition to beneficial to them.
Scattergories was a huge hit...with them in addition to me. We worked amongst the CVCe pattern (better known equally "Magic E"). The students were give a pattern (i.e. "-ate" or "-ice) in addition to had several minutes to brainstorm equally many words equally they could mean value of that included the pattern.
The finish was to include words that nobody else had listed.
After the fourth dimension menstruation ended, I manned the nautical chart newspaper in addition to began taking words from volunteers.
A youngster would nation a word.
I would write it on the nautical chart in addition to ask, "Does anyone else bring that give-and-take on their list?".
If other students had also written the give-and-take downward on the nautical chart newspaper they would give the still "me too" signal inward response.
If the give-and-take is on to a greater extent than than i students' newspaper in addition to thence they would depict a business through it. If a youngster was the exclusively i to mean value of the give-and-take he would circle it in addition to I added a star on the nautical chart side past times side to the word.
I was impressed amongst the words they came upwardly amongst in addition to nosotros had a smashing fourth dimension edifice our lists.
Here's a peek at around of the other games in addition to activities inward my Word Study Centers kit. On Fri I am going to suspension out the Follow the Yellow Brick Word Study Road game. If exclusively I had ruby ruddy slippers for it's unveiling.
