My Project
My teaching partner and I have several "Hot Dots" pens. Hot Dot Pens are used to choose answers to various questions printed on small cards, light green when correct or red when incorrect. Currently, we have question card sets that can be used mainly with fourth and fifth grades, and the kids love them. However, we want to bring the fun to the younger students also!
In this project we are requesting several Hot Dots sets that will be used for our younger students to practice their skills.
Unlike the ones we currently have, which focus heavily on complex comprehension questions, the ones we are requesting will have more phonics activities. They will also have practice with sight words and basic sentences. In our small guided groups, the primary students will be able to do some literacy practice. These will bring fun and engagement to our groups.
