Replacing Nouns with Pronouns Powerpoint Game

Slide2
Cover

I love working with the 8 parts of speech, especially if I use School House Rock videos. To help assess want students learned (and to have a bit of fun) I made this wonderful game for my students to play.

Slide1

This is great for a quick review since there are only 10 questions and is multiple choice. This is great for centers as students can take turns answering questions or you can use it a whole class review. I would choose a random student by drawing popsicle sticks and they choose a question.

 

Slide2


Sometimes my students would go in order. Other times, they would pick a random number. Best part: once they’ve answered the question, it disappeared and I don’t have to worry about whether they’ve already answered it. 
Slide3
Slide4
Slide5

Each question gives students a sentence. The noun to be replaced is highlighted in yellow. Students must decided from 3 answer choices is best to replace the noun. X’s appear for wrong answers and checks appear for correct answers.

You can get this game here: Replacing Nouns with Pronouns PPT Game. You can also check out my other Parts of Speech products. Mac and PC versions are included! It even works on ipads and tablets, making it great for 1:1 classrooms.

Springing into Learning Blog Hop

I’m so excited to join Elementary Antics for a spring time blog hop! Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. Flowers are blooming, the weather is warmer, and the clear blue skies are beautiful.


When spring comes around, it’s one of the best time for students to learn about plants. During my student teaching, I did a fun plants unit. Students learned about plants.

I had students decorate Styrofoam cups to look like vases. Then they got to choose what flower they wanted to grow. Later, they would take them home and give them to their moms for Mother’s day. =)


Most of them grew slowly. There was one that grew very well. So much so that the vine wrapped around my desk.



Here’s a wonderful freebie to use with your older students. Task cards are a big hit, but not one has time to print and cut them out. These digital task cut the work in half. All you have to do is print the recording sheet.


All you need is a tablet or iPad. You could even use your interactive board and play as a whole class. You can get this freebie here, but only for a limited time!

     I have so much to be thankful for! Over this past year has been a real struggle for me. Doing TPT full time, helping my sister take care of her 3 beautiful children, and managing my seizures has made me strong and so thankful for every thing I have. I thank my family, especially my mother who was always there for me. My friends who still put up with me and antics. My friends in the Classroom Clique. Lastly, I thank my followers. You guys keep me running and motivated, especially through the exciting moments and the toughs moments. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

      As is tradition in our house, I do the baking. It’s mostly desserts. A few years ago, I challenged myself to make an apple pie from scratch (minus the pie dough). I have to say it was the most delicious pie we ever had. It was gone the next day. The recipe is very simple. I found it online at Pilsbury.com for Perfect Apple Pie. I added some a little powder sugar and apple juice to the filling to sweeten up the Granny Smith apples I used.

    I figured out how to do the Lattice topping for the pie crust. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I used eggs whites as a glaze for the top and covered the edges with foil (to stop the burnt edges).

     It came out beautifully and served with vanilla ice cream, it was the best dessert I had ever made.

Each year at Thanksgiving I make a new dessert so my sister asked me to make peach pie. I’m up for the challenge! =)

Sight words are fun. Tic-Tac-Toe is fun too! Why not put the two together? 

 photo IMG_1704_zpsqkdioqmh.jpg

My nephew who is in kindergarten practices his sights words every night. After a few weeks, he got tired of doing the flash cards. I decided to play Tic-Tac-Toe using his sight words. He was more than willing to play!

 photo IMG_1718_zpsawsc96vw.jpg

Set up is simple! Make a large Tic-Tac-Toe board on some paper. Write the sight words in each box.

Write X’s and O’s on some paper or index cards and you’re ready to go! The first time around, I folded a paper in thirds and just traced the lines. Later, I made some boards, X’s, and O’s on my computer and printed them out.

 photo IMG_1710_zpsbh6s6s3b.jpg

You can save paper by drawing a Tic-Tac-Toe board on some paper and insert it into a Sheet protector. Use a dry-erase marker to write the letters. You can change the words any time with a eraser or paper towel. You can even insert 2 pages in one sheet placed back-to-back for 2 games in 1. You also have a carrying case for your cards and dry-erase pen!
