Plural Noun Quickie for You! {Also... who won the homework passes???!!!}

Monday.  Enough said.

Who won the homework passes???  You know... my new 81 different themed homework passes in color and black and white?

Find it on TpT

The winner was "More than Math by Mo" and I'm sending the pack your way as I type!  I was a tiny bit surprised that only 14 people commented on the freebie I posted that was from the pack... I am saying this with as much kindness as I can muster and using it as a friendly reminder to express gratitude!  Don't hate me forever... I know sometimes we want to use things before we leave feedback or post a comment, but it really does mean a lot to hear a thanks!  And if you missed the freebie the first time around, here's the link.

And now... a plural noun quickie for you!  Don't forget to drop a line if you like it!  It's been quiet around here!

Concrete and Abstract Nouns and a LINKY Party!

Shhh... don't tell anyone!  This is my 2nd post today... but I wanted to jump on this linky party... Yikes!

What a HARD concept!  I've been slowly slipping this into general conversation about nouns in my classroom and am finally ready to teach about it... I just made a new product to help my students practice this hard skill.

The new pack has over 30 pages with three different activities- an individual sorting activity, a SCOOT or read the room or hallway scavenger hunt activity, and a small group game- all designed to help students become familiar with concrete and abstract nouns!

You can check it out here... where you can get it for less than $3.00 after the sale at my shop and TpT's extra % off.  The TpT sale isn't until tomorrow, but I have started mine a day early!!!

Find it on TpT or Teacher's Notebook

Singular and Plural Nouns... something free and something new!

Can you tell what my current grammar unit is?

Between today's title and the new fairy tale nouns game I posted about earlier this week, you've probably guessed it... we're learning about NOUNS!

Next week is singular and plural nouns so we'll be going trick-or-treating through the halls, looking for singular and plural nouns!  I'll be putting up 20 noun cards and 4 "TRICK" cards.  Students will roam the halls searching for the nouns.  On their recording sheet, they'll mark an S for the singular noun cards and a P for plural nouns... I'm hoping the "TRICKS" will make them think they've found a word... but as they approach it, they'll see the card says "TRICK" instead of giving a word they need!  Bwa ha ha ha!

I've just added that new activity to TpT!  Just click the pic below for more info!

 Find it on TpT!

We'll also be doing a singular and plural page puzzle.  I *heart* page puzzles.

Here's how they work- I'll be copying the page on colored paper, cutting out the pieces, and putting them in a baggie.  Each group will get one baggie.  On my signal, they'll take out the pieces and try to put them back together by matching up each singular noun with its correct plural version.

Here's the kicker... I have distractors in there to try and trick them.  So, they really have to know how to go between plural and singular versions to get it done correctly.  The first group with the correct completed page puzzle will get something like a Nerd.  Will yours kids do anything for one Nerd or is it just me?

Just click the pic below for the page puzzle... it's an activity best tried rather than explained.  I hope it makes sense!

Noun Freebie and Sale News!

And, as promised, another poem with an activity freebie.  We're grammar reviewing this week for morning work.  And, while this format may be overkill, we love poems and I like this format, so we're doing a different one every day.

Here's the noun page:

I have a compound word and antonym page just like this posted on my blog somewhere!  You can use the "Find it Fast" labels over on the left to search for them if you missed them.
