Independent Work Time Activities
Purple Cow High Frequency Word Game by Pat Lucina
Independent Work Time.com the missing manual of how, why, and what to do during IWT
Suggested Activities (submitted by Hack Hansen):
- Magnet Letters
are always popular as are any ABC Puzzles
- Make copies of pages with letters on them coordinating with
the lessons. Make the font rather large (100+) Give the student an
extra huge push pin and they work on the carpet "punching the
letters". When they are done it resembles a light bright paper. It
helps the student learn the letter and shape as well and forcing
them to work on small motor skills by pinching the push pin. They
enjoy holding their page up to the window to see their pattern. - Boggle Jr.
