Power Towers

I love http://www.teachertipster.com/ It has great idea on how to use dixie cups. I teach mostly in Spanish. I want my students to learn from early on the HFWs in English. I write the words on the bottom. As the students says them they can stack them to create a tower. My kids get so excited when they make the huge tower. Here are some pictures. They can be used for basic facts as well. I use the HEB brand because you get 200 dixie cups. They are cheaper.
