Back in June, I posted an activity I did called Roll a Sentence. This idea was an adaption of a lesson taught by Jana of Think Out Loud.
To start the year off with writing, I got a crazy idea and when I told ALuv about it, he begged me to hurry and make it for him. Hehe. It’s so fun to “trick” your kids into learning, isn’t it?
Now, you can roll a SILLY sentence!
On the download, there are 6 people & animal inserts for WHO. I also made 6 people & animal DID WHAT inserts. These inserts fit into these photo stacking blocks. Believe me when I say we have used our photo stacking blocks over and over for SO many purposes.
You can MIX & MATCH the inserts as you please to make the sentences as silly as you’d like. But be careful! These will cause giggle boxes to get turned over. 🙂

June 22, 2014 at 5:26 pmI am so excited. I am helping my son (4th grader) prep for his writing STAAR ( texas state test) coming up in the spring. He gets very overwhelmed by the thought of having to create his own sentence. I really hope this activity will help things feel less scary.
