Last week we talked about first and last letters in words. The Beach Buddies picked up this concept pretty fast. When you are reading at home this is a great concept to practice. "Find the word bat." If they can't find the word, ask them what it might start with/ end with. This should help eliminate most words. "What is the first letter?" "What is the last letter?" "What sound does that letter make?"
We use Kagan structures daily to practice different skills. Below (go through the link) is Quiz-Quiz Keep. Students quiz each other using their name and then keep their card. This is a quick 2 minute activity that gives them a lot of practice!
In contrast, below you will see students participating in a Quiz-Quiz Trade. This is the Kagan structure we use most often (maybe twice a day). In this structure, students quiz each other and then trade their cards. Most of the time there is a sentence stem written on the board. This helps them with correct sentence structure.
