Parts of Speech Sort

After spending several weeks teaching parts of speech, we decided to spend one week reviewing some of the concepts previously taught.  The parts of speech we chose as part of our review are nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives.  This can be a lot for students to recall!

One way I reviewed with my students was through a sort.  I wanted my students to really think about what the word was before identifying the part of speech.  To do this, my students drew pictures for each word prior to sorting.  This seemed to really help with their ability to independently categorize the words.  They absolutely loved this activity!  

Included with the sort is a 15 point quiz.  It incorporates definition matching and identifying the parts of speech in a sentence.  You can get it at my TpT store HERE!

Multiplication Today

Many parents comment about how math looks very different today.  At a recent School Open House night, we showed a PowerPoint of how math can be modeled.  We are currently in our multiplication unit, where students are learning the concept, not just facts.

As a way of reviewing the various ways to model, I had students represent a fact using arrays, number bonds, the commutative property, and equal groups.  This FREEBIE is great to hang up for an Open House or just review the different ways to model math.
