Blends and Digraphs

We use the clickers every day and several times a day.  I especially like to use it first thing in the morning when they arrive to create an "urgency" for learning.  We are still at the beginning stages of answering yes/no, numerical, and short answer (1-2 words) questions.  My biggest challenge has been getting used to the timer (setting it properly and at the right time).  My students LOVE using the clickers, and they want to use them more often.  So do I!  Can't wait to learn about how to use them other ways!

We have been learning about blends and digraphs and highlighting words in our shared reading that contain blends and digraphs.  After reading a big book and locating these words, my first graders went back to their desk and "texted" me a word they know that begins with a blend or digraph.  The two pictures below are evidence of the results and one student texting his answer with the clicker.
