We are at it again!! Challenges ourselves and other primary teachers to go worksheet free! Read on to see a couple activities we did that were worksheet free! Click below to head to the Primary Chalkboard and see the other ideas or link up!
The past couple of weeks we have been working on adjectives (I hope to share all our studies in one big post at a later date). For now, I will share two activities that truly made my teacher heart happy.
Firstly, I usually do a lot of thinking and connecting before I teach a lesson. I go through the processing and steps for myself to get the ideas to the kids and then also what I want my kids to get out of it. THEN, there are other times when I just wing activities and all the pieces fall into place and I go AH-HA I DO KNOW WHAT I AM DOING!!! I love that affirmation - - - especially as a newbie teacher!
To extend our adjective study we began talking about comparative and superlative adjectives with a fun interactive smartboard file from Lisa Rombach from TPT and the best part is it is FREE and she has a lot more of them! Click the picture below to get yourself a copy!
I wrote simple verbs on sticky notes and stuck them to the board then gathered some construction paper. I let the kids pick a paper and a word then had to write and illustrate the base word, the comparative form, and superlative form.
This kid is clever! ha ha!
It is hard to read in the picture, but this kid was also pretty creative. The baby is fast, the 12th grader is faster, and Dad is fastest!
Clean is a hard adjective to illustrate....LOVED this one!
The following really made my teacher heart happy because we are also currently working on a habitat research project - - Antartick (love her inventive spelling) and Tundra made it on their pages!!!!
For the Lenten season one of our focuses has been God's gifts and our eternal debt to him. I made up a quick puzzle heart and had the kids write gifts God has given them. Then they were to cut the pieces and get with a partner to switch pieces, discuss, and put back together. They did an AMAZING job and the puzzle was actually the PERFECT amount of challenge for them.
