Parent Newsletter: Tenth Week of School

Dear parents,
     Today in class we had a little fun reviewing our vocabulary words. To interest the children I came up with a review game called Musical Chairs Vocabulary. In the middle of the room I had a circle of chairs each containg a vocabulary word. for example, some said school, home, shoe, bathroom, etc. I had one less chair than child and played music. When the music stopped the children had to sit in a chair. The one without a chair was eliminated. Each child then had to read the vocabulary word on the chair they were sitting on. We played this game until there was one winner. Then the children loved the game so much we played it a second time. This activity allowed the students to get on their feet and have fun while learning. It was fun and educational.
