This week we have been stopping to review parts of speech with our main focus on nouns, verbs, and adjectives. I started with a chart on the wall divided into thirds and labeled nouns, verbs, and adjectives (forgot to take a picture again). Then I pulled out some of my favorites for teaching parts of speech:
A Mink, a Fink, a Skating Rink: What is a Noun?
To Root, to Toot, to Parachute: What is a Verb?
Hairy, Scary, Ordinary: What is an Adjective?
all written by Brian P. Cleary
The kids were quick to point out the rhyming text and how the author used color to identify the parts of speech inside each book. At the end of each book, the author writes something like, Do you know what is a noun? After each book, we brainstormed examples and I recorded them on our chart.
So, what do you do after you’ve reviewed parts of speech? Have fun with it, of course! In the past I have used Mad Libs, but this year I found an awesome resource. Do you know Martha from Primary Paradise? If not, you will definitely need to check out her blog. She shares some fabulous resources each week.

I also wanted to let you know about this summer word search I created.

It’s available in my Free Resource Library.
Happy Teaching!
