smgwynn Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'll be teaching an every other week LA class at my co-op. it's for the 1 st-2nd grade group. The goal is to prepare the kids for the beginning IEW class they go into in the 3rd grade. I'm thinking to work on parts of speech, narration exercises, and maybe throw in a bit of poetry, just for fun. Parents should be doing their own la programs at home, so this should really be a fun supplemental class. I was thinking of pulling a bit from the additional exercises from fll1/2 and from mct's building poems. Anyone have suggestions on some fun grammar games/exercises?

skeeterbug Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Grammarland? With these worksheets? To review parts of speech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edeemarie Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 That sounds a lot like IEW Primary Art of Language Writing program. You could probably just get that (without the All About Spelling) and use it to give guidelines on teaching your group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closeacademy Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 That age might really enjoy the Ruth Heller books. She made bright vibrant picture books for each part of speech with catchy titles like: Kites Sail High and Mine! Mine! All Mine! My kids really like them and she really gets into what each part of speech does in a fun way.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Oh, and the Brian Cleary books, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kclopez Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Montessori grammar There is a lot on the net about it - free, easy, hands on - fun.

smgwynn Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Thanks for the suggestions! I had never heard of the clearly or heller books. They look fun and my library has them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atozmom Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 There is a blog, Serendipity, that has plans for using the Ruth Heller books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeterbug Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Is grammarland good for the 6-8 year old bunch? I think so, I am using it with my 7yo just as fun reading/reinforcement. The worksheets may or not work for you depending on the time you have in your class and the writing ability for your students. You could go through them verbally and come up with the answers as a group, or send them home with the students. We also love the Brian P. Cleary books.
