Adverbs

WAAAAHOOOOO its Friday!  My room is trashed and I'm exhausted.  Today was smack down Friday, as in you had a sub two days, did nothing, and now you will pay for all that unfinished work you have.  Many said they learned their lesson :)  With 18 days of school left I guess it's better late than never, right?

The next section in our Grammar review was Adverbs.  Am I the only one who has a class that doesn't get this?

As always we read a book first!

I picked this one:

However, the kids are having trouble so I think I am going to go order this one for next year so I have two.

We did some practice sentences on the board.  Then the kids created this little flip book.  They took a piece of lined paper folded it like a hotdog and glued it onto a piece of white paper.  Then they drew a picture.  They had to write a sentence describing the picture using each different kind of adverb.

Can you tell who just got back from a Disney Cruise?  Lucky Girl!

Well I'm tired from the smack down today so I hope you all have a good weekend.

Pronouns!!

Hear that sound?  Its the sound of 28 silent students while they take their end of the year computerized grade level test.  I Hate getting set up for this test but the day I give it to the 3rd graders is so peaceful...the same does not go for the 2nd.

Anyways,  I'm going to share another grammar review project we did!  PRONOUNS!!!
First,  because I'm the reading teacher for our team and I love a good book we read this book about pronouns

I love this series and the kids think they are funny.

Another book I found that would be good for this lesson is 

Then we made a pronoun bubble map, which I forgot to take a picture of.

Then I found this really cute pronoun pizza project from Christy at Teaching In Flip Flops.  She has the templet for sale in her store.  It is so worth it.

Here are some pictures of the finished project.

My favorite is the onion pizza to the right of the sign.  He is a vegetarian.

Contraction Foldable

I have a confession....I was thinking about deleting my blog.  I don't have many views or followers and I feel like none of my ideas are original.  FOr those of you checking in you can thank my classroom aid for my continuing on.  She pointed out all the new ideas that I had come up with lately and even started to yell at me to take pictures!!  I don't know what I will do next year without her (the student she works with is going to 4th and I am staying 2/3 :( tear)

Anyways,  we have our big grammar District Assessment coming up.  So in order to review the kids have been doing some fun projects!

Contractions
First we read these two fabulous books!

Then after I introduced our spelling words for the week the kids made these cute foldable to help them study.  I love how marconi can be an apostrophe, commas, or quotation marks.  Its just so versatile.

This is the front view.  The kids had to do each of our spelling words

This is the inside view (along with a shot of my VERY messy desk)

 More Projects to come in the next few days.  If you have any foldable ideas please share them by leaving a comment.  Don't forget to follow me!!
