What a great Coding workshop tonight presented by @MoePerera! Learned tons of great resources and tools to use to allow my students to take risks, and to look at these tools with a critical lens. Can’t wait to try out some of these coding lessons with my Ss. @BegleyBroncos1

📌Use plates + toys for sound mapping: 1. I say the word & they repeat it back to me. 2. They slowly segment the word + show how many sounds they hear with the toys. 3. They graph it in the top spot. 4. Print it in the bottom spot. 5. Read it. 6. REPEAT! #literacy #edutwitter
