SWR Basketball

We played basketball during our SWR (Spelling, Writing, Reading) time this morning. First, all students spell the words in their SWR notebooks. Then a person from one of the teams volunteers to spell the word for the class and tries to score a basket (throw a ball into the recyling bin). Students can get a point for spelling the word correctly and making a basket. Everyone who wants a turn, gets a turn! Children have been asking for this game, so I think they must enjoy it! :-)

  1. Great idea! Do I see a SMARTboard in your room? I am piloting one this year. It is amazing! I use it all day long!! I don't use paper, easel or a magnetic board anymore!! I love your blog. Sharon
