Next, I introduced "ball words:" 11 sets of 20 sight words. I have to say, I was a bit skeptical. Most students were having some trouble remembering the sight words that I have already introduced in class. But we gave it a try.
The kids were psyched! Within a couple weeks we had our first ball word champion! A few days later we crowned the second champion! And then it exploded - kids are passing word lists like crazy! Even parents are asking if I have time to quiz their child that day! Check out our wall of champs so far...
And of course, when we all reach "Baseball Champ" status, we will HAVE to have a baseball party! I don't think it will be long...
