Thank Patti! lol...Do your kindergartners spend a lot of time with vocabulary? I'm curious what kind of strategies your CT uses to enhance your students vocabulary aquisition. How about sight words/flash cards? When I was in a kindergarten classroom last year, I was really surpised to see them working with sight words already. That was in an Okemos school, so I'm just curious if Holt appears to be at the same level. I love the different strategies Tompkins includes in her chapter that teachers can use to surround their students with words of all kinds. Immersing children in an environment full of learning opportunities, creative and otherwise, is a wonderful way to teach implicitly.Rachel Forstathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427918696893861690noreply@blogger.com
