Grammar Tales
Grammar Tales
I posted yesterday about a fun adjective activity and I recently posted fun vidoes and projects we have done while reviewing grammar. I use Grammar Tales by Scholastic as a tool to teach grammar. It has a nice little teacher guide, picture books to reinforce concepts, and worksheet pages to make a student book for each concept. Here is a link to Amazon that will hook you right up!!
I've had this set for a while and this is the first year I've really started the kit and stuck with it. I have to say that combining the songs/videos, using the kit, and occasional projects have really made grammar fun. The kids love it when they see me reach for one of the books or pull up our latest song/video. The kit really doesn't cost that much and I think it would be a great addition for any classroom!!
Let me know what you think!

Grammar With Attitude!! :\
We have been having some verb fun the past week. The kids really love the Youtube videos!! I have one I do for nouns and a couple I use for verbs. I use them as brain breaks before or after I teach the grammar lesson.
They all get stuck in our heads and the students and I tend to hum them all day. Too funny! Play them and you will see.
I also created a sassy irregular verbs chart! I say sassy because as I was teaching today a co-worker came in and complimented the chart. One of my girls pipped up that Mrs. Lutton likes to make her charts "sassy", ha!
We did nouns last week. I've shown this noun song for a couple years now and I really like it!! The kids practically memorize it. Beware!! This one will sooo get stuck in your head!! ;)

This video is super funny!! (At least I think so) My kids are allowed to stand by their desks and follow along. They tend to want to really get crazy but I just lay down the law. :) Once the behavior expectations are clear they are great. They think it is hilarious when I start clapping and jumping along.
We discussed irregular verbs today and I showed this video just after I introduced them. It has pictures that grab their attention and I then show it again after the lesson so they see the irregular verbs again. They really liked it today.

This is the one I made for verbs.
My lovely daughter helped me color it.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look around!!
I hope you found something that you can use in your room!!

Grammaropolis
Grammaropolis!!
Grammaropolis features cartoon characters that represent nouns, verbs, adjectives, and other parts of speech. Students can click on any of the characters to read that character's story. After going through the character stories students can watch videos about the parts of speech and play games about the parts of speech.
This is a cool, fun site that allows kids to see grammar in a fun light. We all know that trying to make grammar fun can make the most seasoned teacher cringe. :)
Thanks to Richard Byrne and Kelly Tenkely for posting this resource!
