One S.M.A.R.T. Teacher - Nov. '22

One S.M.A.R.T. Teacher, Alisha, makes Tactile Trackers that coincide with the units she’s working on with her students! Check out the fabulous Tactile Tracker she made to support her unit on plants; you’ll notice that it also has the parts of the plant labeled to introduce vocabulary.

Alisha has her students focus on keeping both eyes open while covering one eye at a time and slowly tracing the lines. Then they finish without covering either eye for the final trip on the tracker. She does this to help strengthen the eyes (especially if one is weaker), so when her students are reading the workload is shared by both eyes.
