Ready to spice up your grammar lessons? Play Truth or Dare! While Truth or Dare in real life can be wild and crazy, Truth or Dare Grammar Style is school appropriate and engaging, focusing on the building blocks of typical grammar instruction. Students will be challenged with prompts about the parts of speech, types of sentences, phrases, clauses, punctuation, and more. This game is a wonderful way to add variety to your test preparation lessons, as it focuses on many of the skills tested on the ACT / SAT English assessments. It's also perfect for a final exam review sessions, literacy centers, and station activities, among other possibilities. The cards can be broken up into smaller groups and used in different segments...use each smaller group of cards as it applies to your current grammar instruction. This grammar review resource includes a sheet with directions for play and score keeping. Also, due to recent updates, there are now 2 versions...a spicier, goofier version for your extroverts and a tamer, safer version for the introverts. Each version includes 30 Truth cards and 30 Dare cards, equalling 120 cards total. In addition, both versions of this game are now EDITABLE in PPT. Change the prompts as needed to suit your students and curriculum. And, this resource now features a SUGGESTED ANSWER KEY you can reference when students have questions! This game is an excellent way to implement differentiation, appeal to students' interests, and allow for a student-centered learning environment.

It could even be used for regular task card work or station activities. Grammar Truth or Dare is ideal for any middle or high school classroom that calls for game culture.

SEPTEMBER NO PREP MATH AND LITERACY ACTIVITIES
With testing week just around the corner, my mind is swarming with things I need to remember to do/teach before testing arrives. One thing that I did years ago was make these cute and fun testing dividers. (I call them testing centers.) It took me a while to get them all made, but it was definitely worth the time and effort! We use these guys all the time in our class. I love them for a couple of reasons: It helps students stay focused. They can't look around at their friends. They don't know when each other finish, so they don't feel the pressure of being the last one done. It helps prevent cheating. It's very hard to look off of someone else's paper when these guys are up. The motivational messages {hopefully} help boost confidence and {hopefully} helps remind them to always do their best. I made them so that no two are exactly alike. It's fun because students never know what theirs will say. It you'd like to make some, here's the 'how to': Take two file folders. Glue them together so that the two sides overlap about an inch. Reinforce with a staple on each end. Glue down a background color. (I used black.) Cut out and glue various inspirational messages and other cute embellishments (stars, smilie faces, stickers, etc.). Laminate. These guys will last quite a while. I've used mine every year for 4 years and they're still in great condition. Happy testing everyone!

The first few weeks of school are all about setting the foundation. We're establishing routines and procedures, encouraging a growth mindset culture, building classroom community, etc. I also like to spend some time laying the foundation for what students will need to be successful writers throughout the year, especially since writing is a focus that threads through all subject areas. In second grade especially, sentence structure is a great place to start. We review the 4 parts that every sentence has to have in order to be a complete sentence:
I'm supposed to be making cookies right now.... but I'm watching General Conference and drinking hot chocolate.... so here I sit, blogging instead! Today I wanted to share a little freebie with you.... A few years ago at a math training, I came across a clever idea of decorating folders as "office cubicles" for the students to put up when taking tests... the concept was that each child would decorate the folder much like adults decorate their cubicles... family photos, sports team posters, etc., then you would laminate it, and they had this great little privacy folder to put up when taking tests. I immediately fell in LOVE with this idea... then remembered the mobility rate at my school... I would be making cubicles every other week as new students came an went... feeling defeated, I tossed the idea out the window and didn't think much more of it. Fast-forward to the second week of school that same year... It was very apparent that a few wandering eyes and chatty Kathy's were in need of some sort of privacy folders in the classroom (as well as a reminder to be quiet during the test!!), and that's where the "do not disturb" folder idea was born! So what exactly is a "do not disturb" folder? I'm so glad you asked :) It is simply two folders that I have glued together and put this cute little cover page on... Here are pictures of the original folders my students made a few years ago.... the great thing about these folders versus cubicles is that I can use these folders for a few years and don't have to throw one away each time a student moves (which is quite often in my classroom). The first year we made these, I printed them in black and white and let the students color them.... they loved using the folders that they had each created, and it was fun to see which folder they would get each time I passed them out for a test. (note: these folders are 3 years old and were created before I discovered the awesomeness of Kimberly Geswein Fonts... so the new ones have been updated with her fonts :) ) So, as you can see, the kids did a pretty good job coloring the folders themselves.... however, I didn't take into account the fact that my class might get bigger, and I didn't think to make extra folders.... so I made a full color version when I quickly needed to make a few more folders... this was a good and bad thing.... students were fighting over the few folders that were "better" because they were printed in color.... so I ended up making 6 of the "nice" folders, which I keep together and would give to the table being the most quiet as we are getting ready to take the test :) problem. solved. I think in the future, I might just make a full class set with the new full-color cover sheets... my kiddos this year are really into scribbling... I'm a little bit worried about how some of the cover pages might turn out! Anyway, here's a few pics of the folders in action, as well as a pic showing how to make them. Click on the colored pic above to download the freebie for yourself :) "do not disturb" folders in action These are kind of small... I used 2 folders, but have seen it done with 3 folders as well, to allow for a little bit more work space on each desk. This is what I get for not gluing the folders together myself... I love parent volunteers... but sometimes, things don't turn out quite like I had them pictured in my head...*sigh*... As you can see, this is just 2 folders overlapped, with the cover glued in the center. I laminated the folders for durability. I've seen folders where they put number charts or ABC / sound cards inside the folder... so you could totally do that inside the folders if you want :) I was in a hurry and didn't put anything on the inside of the folders. I hope you find this useful! I'd love to see pictures if you make them for your classroom :) and finally.... the winner of the educents pin it to win it contest is..... just a few more days to pick up this great bundle! Hurry before the deal expires!! a Rafflecopter giveaway YAY! You two lucky ladies get to pick any item from my store for free :) Happy Sunday, everyone.
