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!

Code line 7 9 is for loading jQuery library. Remove this line if you’ve already loaded it somewhere else in your blog. Hint: If your blog has an image slider, carousel or something with fading effect running, chances are it is powered by jQuery. If this widget doesn’t work, the first thing you want to do is comment out or remove this line. To use your own button, replace the URL in line 3 with the direct link URL to the image. Make sure to keep the quotes. To reposition the button, replace
