Sentence Building

Help kids practice building sentences by MAKING IT FUN!




We recently got Smartboards in our classroom.
I know...right!?!
They have this "Infinite Cloner" button and
I will be using it A LOT!




The students had to work together to build a sentence 
for their friends to read. 





We discussed the importance of
"reading the sentence back to yourself!"
I saw this idea about 5 years ago at a conference.
The students LOOOVE it!



This is a GREAT video to share with the students 
about writing a sentence.  
Anytime that you add a "SONG"...I believe, 
you will increase their excitement to learn!

    What a great idea!! I have a Smartboard, but not good at creating activities like this. Did you make it or get it from somewhere? I would love a copy.

      Hi Billi!
      It is really hard to find time to create lessons for my Smartboard but when I do....the kiddos LOVE it! I made this myself and I would love to share it with you. Reply or message your e-mail address and I will send it to you. Thanks for reading our blog!
