Teaching Newcomers with Shaving Cream

Shaving cream doesn't have to just be for shaving!  Here's how we used it for review in my newcomer class. 

I called out a word (we were practicing number words here) and my students raced to write it in the shaving cream.  You can call out sight words, math facts, periodic table elements...whatever!

Isn't this a great shot? My kiddo made a reversal mistake and was able to easily rectify with just a swipe of his hand.  Tactical and practical!

At the end of the lesson, just wipe it up with some paper towels.  Easy and fun!
