Mrs. Laflan’s 3rd-grade students had the opportunity to use a vocabulary strategy that Mrs. Laflan learned at the Get Your Teach On Conference in Las Vegas. Students used Play Doh to represent a vocabulary word. Students were able to show deeper level thinking as they had to know the meaning of the word in order to create their model!
