Two for Tuesday - Week 3 & FREEBIE

It's TWO for TUESDAY!

Hi!
I am linking up with The Teaching Tribune for their Two For Tuesday Linky - Week 3

That means that

  2 items 

from my store will be 50% off today!!!

Here are previews of the items I have on sale:

The Plural Noun Song Pack

Need a fun way to remind the students of certain rules that they must follow when making nouns plural? This may be the resource for you!


The Plan

I sing this original song with my students to the tune of "Jingle Bells." Who doesn't love Jingle Bells?

Later, when your students need to be reminded of a rule for making a word plural, you can just remind them of the corresponding line of the song.

Then the student will all of the sudden repeat the line in a sing-song voice which will in turn cue the rest of the class to join in as well. A spontaneous song session! What could be happier than that?

There is a preview below of all of the resources that are included. Here is the link if you would like to check it out in my store.

My other sale item:

Snow, Contractions, and a Craft

I love a good snow...which rarely happens. I get excited when there are even flurries where I live. Needless to say, the students get excited as well! Recently we had the threat of snow and ice that turned into super duper cold weather that many of you had as well. That weather prevented the students from returning to school for an additional day at the end of the Christmas Break.

THEREFORE, once the students were finally back, I HAD to do a snowman craft with them. The addition of a lesson about contractions was the perfect fit. The kids hardly knew that they were writing, thinking, and even following directions. Here are a few of the students' masterpieces:

This snowman has an extra mitten floating around. 

The snowman's hat was flying away!

This student's snowballs are in the PROCESS of being piled.

I instructed them to save room on the other side of the snowman to make a pile of possessive nouns. Most of them followed my directions. Then I decided that we may want to just add another pile of contractions using "not" or a mix of contractions for another "fun" way to practice making contractions. I will let you know later which direction we decided to go.

This lesson is in my Teachers Pay Teachers store if you would like to check it out. Just click here.

My students have loved this activity for a few years now. I updated it with cute graphics from Krista Wallden.

I have two more sets that I will show you soon. Also, there is a freebie that coordinates. Meanwhile, stay warm!
