Day 19: The Plexer!


The Plexer....every student is curious about The Plexer. What is it? They are commonly used phrases but in puzzle form. I write a new one up there whenever the previous one is guessed correctly or goes for 3 days without being guessed. They really make the kids think at a higher level and they help them break words apart to find other familiar words. What is great is that it is helping them with reading skills! The students can't wait to tell me what their guess is, but I make them wait ALL DAY and then it's the "magic of the cards" that determines who guesses and in what order. This plexer is: PRO    MISE          Do you know what the phrase is?
