Local Newspaper Interview

My first graders were pretty excited when the Hutchinson Leader sent a reporter to our classroom to see what we are doing, and what our classroom looks like!  Here's the link for the article:

This is one of my cuties, using Magnetic Letters from SMART Exchange http://exchange.smarttech.com/details?id=2e467b26-4902-4649-b087-76791fb31141 .  I simply add the words I want them to work on into text boxes on the magnetic letters page, lock the boxes, and have the kids slide magnetic letters over the words to practice.  We use Literacy by Design for our reading series, so this week we were working on short o words.
