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. 

3rd Grade Kinds of Sentences and Pronouns

It's been awhile since my last post.  I've been a busy bee with planning, grading, and PPAA practice with the kids.  Nevertheless, the 3rd graders have been learning about alphabetical order, the kinds of sentences, word order, writing sentences, and just recently pronouns.  These are just a couple of things they have done...

3rd Grade "The Surprise" Frog and Toad

After reading the story "The Surprise" by Arnold Lobel, students created a two flap foldable where they had to write the differences between a frog and a toad.  They did a super job!

2nd Grade Unit 2.4 Poetry

2nd graders have been learning about alliteration and onomatopoeia. This activity consisted of them following instructions to make a 2 part flapbook. Then, they sorted sentences and glued them under the alliteration or onomatopoeia flap. They always enjoy making foldables and the activity was a success!

In another activity, students had to cut and glue words that completed the alliterations.  Great job, 2nd graders!

3rd Grade, Unit 4 5Ws Nonfiction

After reading about "King Tut:  The Face of a King", students answered 5W questions using picture clues.  They also had to complete the face of  King Tut on a given activity.  They did an amazing job!

My 4th graders have begun to read the story "The Hungry Spider".  Before reading the story, the new vocabulary words were introduced.  They have also been learning about the 4 types of sentences:  declarative, interrogative, exclamatory, and imperative.  Next week they will be learning about adjectives.
