I went out yesterday and purchased one of these colorful, spiral-bound index card holders for each of my 2nd graders, on which to write high-frequency words for them to study. The thought behind it is that they can practice with an ed. tech., parent, or high school volunteer. Every time they read the word pretty much automatically, we add a sticker to the card. Once they get 10 stickers on a card, they get to rip it out and take it home. Second graders LOVE stickers! I hope it will be motivating. And people wonder how teachers can possibly use so much of their own money in the classroom? If it gets the job done...Wednesday, October 20, 2010

I hear ya. It doesn't take too long to spend those pennies. The card holders ARE pretty though and practical, a great combination. Nice pic!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors. Pity there is never enough simple things like this in schools.
