Verb Tense Foldables (Updated)

4th graders have been busy learning about adjectives, figurative language, the senses, and just recently verbs.  The recent activity they did was to create a foldable, where they had to sort the verbs in past, present, and future tense.  They always love to do foldables, and were motivated to do this activity.

5th Graders have been working on prepositional phrases and verbs.  In this activity, they made verb tense matchbox foldables.  They had to read and write sentences under the flap of past, present or future tense, and identify the verb.

I love to use flapbooks in the classroom.  We can use flapbooks for practically any skill, and the kids really enjoy making them.  Today the 3rd graders created flapbooks for syllables.  They read each word and classified it under the correct flap.  Amazing job, 3rd graders!
