Jefferson PK-8 first grade students have been enjoying practicing their phonics skills with a twist, and a twirl for that matter.
Students in Mrs. Haswell’s class had to pronounce the phonemes displayed on the flash card: A correct response would earn a roll of the die to determine how many stations the student was able to advance in the “Sensory Hallway”.
According to Jefferson Campus Leader Carrie Boyer, the Sensory Hallway has been around since 2019 and was created to allow students to take a “brain break” from learning and increase physical activity while improving large motor skills. This creative learning activity gave students a chance to exercise out some late afternoon restlessness while reinforcing the phonics skills of letter ID and letter sound ID.
