Versatiles: A Photo Essay

My previous post talked Versatiles in the classroom, but also with your own kiddos. Here is some more photo evidence of a real life child loving learning and how they work!

In the photo below, my daughter is using them for beginning reader practice. She places the plastic case on top of the questions (top of the page) and answers (bottom of the page). 


We line up the tiles in number order on the carpet (Also good practice for 1:1 correspondence, counting, and identifying numbers, for our littlest ones). 



As she answers each question and finds the correct answer, she puts the corresponding tile on the correct answer. 



When she finishes the page, she locks the plastic case, flips it over, and checks the answer key on the bottom of the page. If she's right, there is a pretty design on the reverse side. If she's wrong, she will notice that he picture does not match the answer key and need to fix something.



BY the way, Piccolina Kids is my new favorite place to shop for Violet. Check out that RBG shirt she is rocking while learning her initial sounds! They can be a little more expensive than I tend to spend on kids clothes, so here is a referral link. Full disclosure, if you spend $40 you get $10 off, and so do I. Also, there are some killer sales going on right now!

Favorite Things

I'm linking up with The Teaching Trio for Favorite Things. This is my first time joining this link party!

There are gorgeous illustrations in this book! Really beautiful and great for students to generate a retelling of this classic tale.

I love this book! I love all of David Wiesner's wordless picture books, but this one really gets the kiddos thinking!


I like to use Tuesday to introduce my second graders to the comprehension strategy of questioning because it can be a puzzling(and hilarious) book!
