My Project

What a classic way to learn how to spell and develop words. Scrapple is a surefire way to help students not only formulate words but to have fun doing it!

An Innovative Way to Word Study!

Finding creative ways to make learning fun is a constant challenge. Having tangible ways to manipulate letters into words will give students opportunities to strengthen their spelling abilities as well as their critical thinking skills.

We will use these materials during word study time as well as free time. I can imagine my students enjoying the game of Scrabble which will hopefully morph into a tradition outside of school.
