Boggle!

We have been playing Boggle in our classroom and we are having so much fun!  Each week we put up a new 9 letter Boggle board in the classroom.  When students have time, they work on their Boggle board.  I also try to set aside 10 to 15 minutes a week just for that.  

At the end of the week I tally up the points that each student earned.  They get a star on the club that they are in for the week.  If they already have a star in that club, they get a sticker on their star.  
2/3 letter words - 1 point
4 letter words = 2 points
5 letter words = 3 points
6 or more letters = 4 points

The winner of boggle each week receives a certificate and we have not had a repeat winner yet!  I blurred the letters on the boggle board in the picture above because it is our current board,  here is one of our previous boards.

We finished up unit 7 in fundations.  Our next unit will focus on words with beginning blends.  Be looking for a new word list and updated word wall list to come home soon.  You can always find the current word wall under the word wall tab on the website.
