We had some fun with our red words today. At Morning Meeting, each student received a name tag with a word written on it. They were that word for the day for a few different activities. During Morning Meeting, students greeted each other by calling each other by their word name instead of their real names. Later in the day, students did the same thing again, but this time they had to "write" their partners' word on his/her back--we call this "backwriting." We will try this again soon with some of the hardest words from the Fry sight word list. It was fun, and by the end of the day, I think everyone could spell/read those words in their sleep! :-) And that's the whole idea...
