Strengthen Your Sentences

I have officially survived the first week of school and am in a complete state of exhaustion.  I am excited to kick off next week in full routine!  I've spent my last few weeknights and this morning getting a little unit prepared for our English focus that we'll be working on over the next few weeks.  We are going to spend a pretty substantial amount of time working on sentences, types of sentences, punctuation, complete/incomplete, and more so I wanted to gather all of my activities into one spot!  Plus, add a little more fun than what I've done in the past.

I have 14 boys, y'all.  14!  That's A LOT!  So, some of my over-the-top girly crafts may not work as well this year.  I'm trying to gear my thinking into what both boys and girls will enjoy.  So, after Stacy Johnson showed me her new punctuation hero clip art, I knew I had to incorporate it somehow.  They are just so precious!  

In my new unit you will find this punctuation hero headband where students write the different types of sentences on the cards, glue them to a sentence strip, and make a mask for the front/center.  I think my kids really really enjoy this one!  Give the girls some pink and purple construction paper, and they will be all over it, too!

I LOVE pocket-books... so, I've included a pocket book to sort asking/telling sentences.  Students make their pocket-book, cut out sentences and place them into the correct pocket!

 I made 2 charts for my sentence unit:

 You can find all of that and lots more in my TpT store!  Just click on any of the pictures, or {here}

 Here's a better look at everything included: 

Now, I'm off to really relax over the next 3 days.  Gotta love a holiday weekend :) especially after the first week of school!
