Two Products In One Day....

So like many bloggers and TPT sellers I have about 10 projects in my folder that I'm still working on.  But, crazy enough I got two finished and posted today.

One, is my Nouns Around the Room, which I blogged about in my earlier blog post.

The other is I Have, Who Has with oi and oy Words.  My kids love I have, who has.  And, I mean love, love, love it.  It's such a fun quick game that gets everyone involved and moving and it's a great review.  So, here's one I created for words with oi and oy.  This can be great phonics and/or spelling practice.  Check out in my TPT store here...

 

 

Hope everyone has a great Sunday! I'm off to go watch some more March Madness even though my bracket isn't looking too pretty...

 

Learning About Nouns

In addition to a review of verbs, we also reviewed nouns mainly focusing on singular and plural nouns and how to make a singular noun plural.  We also discussed the irregular nouns and how more than one tooth isn't tooths....which is always a hard one for them to understand, but after this chart and activity I think we're getting there.

We started by making an anchor chart together.

 

Then, after some whole group practice with nouns the kids worked on Nouns Around the Room.  Nouns Around the Room can be found in my TPT store here.  There are 24 different noun questions ranging from - which word is the noun, make this singular noun plural, and is this word a noun? 

 

The kids had a great time completing this activity and really showed that they have nouns down.

Learning About Verbs

This week we spent two days working on verbs.  The first day we reviewed verbs (my kiddos keep getting confused on verbs, nouns, etc) and we started talking about verb tenses.  In second grade, the language standard focuses on students being able to use irregular verb tenses - made, swam, ran, etc. The CCSS standard is L2.1.

First, we created an anchor chart together.  We reviewed what a verb was and came up with some examples. Then, we used a mini tree map to practice changing the tenses of the verbs.

 

After creating our anchor chart, the kids went on a verb hunt using picture books. They each could pick a book of their choice and then they had to read each sentence, find the verb, and write the verb in their verb circle map.

 

 

Then, on day 2, came the fun interactive activity. I created a Verbs - Around the Room Activity for students to complete. There were 24 cards. Some asked questions on identifying the verb, some on changing a verb to a different tense, and some cards ask what tense the verb was in. This provided more practice on regular and irregular verbs and it is now available in my TPT store.  Check it out here...

 

 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Be sure to check out Verbs Around the Room in my store!

 

 

March Currently and Measurements Task Cards

Hard to believe today is the first day of March.  Feels like February flew by.  Here's hoping the next 63 days of school fly by too.  I'm definitely in spring fever mode and ready for summer!  Since it is March, I'm linking up with Farley for March Currently.  Be sure to link up with Farley at her blog Oh' Boy 4th Grade.

 

Listening: I'm catching up on my Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on DVR.  Anyone else love watching this drama?  I know these shows are bad for you, but they are pretty entertaining.

 

 

Loving: Wow, what a great sale TPT had.  I know I stocked up on a number of things and am excited to start creating some new products with them.

 

Thinking: I need to start spring cleaning. I don't want to do spring cleaning, but I need to.  I brought home all of my reading files and am hoping to organize them into binders and clean out the stuff I haven't used in years.  Here's hoping I get this project going today.

 

Wanting: More time in the day. I know everyone wants this, but I've been feeling pulled lately. I have lots of things I want to get done and good intentions of getting them done then time and other things get in the way.

 

Needing: I have to get back on track with working out. I have good starts and then those taper off. My goal is to get going this weekend and start March off on a good foot.

 

Answer: try to figure out the question that goes along with my answer - Dulce de Leche.

 

 

 

And...I finally have a new product in my TPT store.  I used these Comparing Measurements Task Cards with my kids during our measurement unit and it worked perfectly.  It was hands on, had them measuring actual items in the classroom, and then comparing those measurements.  I also love that student choice is involved. Students got to pick 4 task cards and they could choose which ones they wanted to complete. Here are a few pictures of them working on measurement:
