Salt Box Writing

Trying to find a "new way" to teach spelling words, letter or number formation? Have you used shaving cream but found it too messy? Well, a salt box may be a simple solution.  All you need is some salt and a container.  For this application, less salt is best.

Here are a few pictures of my kids in action.

 Using a salt box is a great sensory activity.

This student is practicing writing -oy and -oi words.

Students are using the Sounds Fun Phonics during this teacher directed lesson.

I plan to use Salt Box Writing a lot more next year when I return to kindergarten.  I hope that this will be an engaging activity that will help with letter and number formation.

Happy Teaching and Learning!
