I did loop with this class and next year the plan is to teach kindergarten so I can loop again with that class. <br /><br />For this game I do not allow the children to use nonsense words because that would be too easy and I'm not sure it would be purposeful. <br /><br />As far as embiggen, I am not so sure it is a real word. Or at least it wasn't. I think it was a word made-up on The Simpsons and has since found its way into our lexicon.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715784900659276067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152844693789487352.post-2292190924133268582012-02-23T13:55:14.417-05:002012-02-23T13:55:14.417-05:00Another question.

Do you have your kids write down only real words or nonsense words too? <br /><br />And I have to share that I did not know "embiggen" was a real word. I was pretty sure what it meant but looked it up anyway. So I learned something new today. :P<br /><br />Ms. MMs.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426159534525251722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152844693789487352.post-37081310467335724342012-02-23T13:52:38.903-05:002012-02-23T13:52:38.903-05:00Nice game.

Although I think I would stick min in the pocket chart center.<br /><br />I have a question for you. Do you loop with your students? I think I remember you mentioning last year that you were teaching Kinder and now your in First. Just curious.<br /><br />Ms. MMs.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426159534525251722noreply@blogger.com
