For the High Frequency Word Scrambled Sentence game, they worked together to form the sentences and then wrote the completed sentence on their dry erase boards. This really reinforced the concept of recognizing the words used in context rather than flashcard drills. |

Welcome to the Fun Factory….a Prekindergarten through 2nd grade blog for teachers!
“FUN IS GOOD” Dr. Seuss
First, we would like to thank Christi Fultz at www.designbychristi.blogspot.com for designing such a cute and FUN site for us!!
We are two teachers (Kathy and Susan) trying to make learning fun. We will share our individual, unique teaching experiences together on this blog. We began team teaching together many years ago and have been working together ever since in Houston, Texas.
We have been second “mothers” to each other’s children. In addition, we each have black Toy poodles, Tootsie and Toodles!
Susan was absent from school last week and it was very heart-warming when her students heard she was not going to be there, they said, “Awwww, today won’t be any fun!” This just reinforced our plan to try our best to make learning fun.
In addition to our work with children, we are blessed to be able to share our ideas with Early Childhood teachers as we present workshops both locally and nationally. One workshop is based on Susan’s newest published book, Tunes for Teachers. (See below.)
As you can see, like most teachers, we are busy! Join us in our journey (by following us) as we share with you creative, FUN ideas, activities, pictures, quote for the day, articles, discussions and more.
