This reminds me of an activity I did with my kids over a long period of
time. I taught sixth grade then. I had cut up the 1000 words the kids =
are
supposed to know. I had enlarged and copied them six times to make sets =
of
these words. The kids were in groups of four or five. Sometimes they
looked for nouns, other times verbs, prepositions. Later , they created
words. If you wanted to, these words could be put in a jar along with =
words
the kids learn, interesting words, words in books they read, etc. Any =
time
there is extra time, this is a possible activity as well as regular =
lesson.
What do you think?

Hi,
Pray for snow! What's winter without a snow day (at least in the =
East)
Now to get on with business. :-) Where do you get a list of 1000 =
words
a child should know by fifth grade? I am so excited to have found =
Donovan's
word Jar. Just had to look in the 2-3 scholastic version instead of the =
4-5.
Parenthetically, you can use those magnet poetry kits for sorting into =
parts of speech, too. I use them for attendance graphing, giving each =
child
a word to put in the proper category on a graph. Any other uses for these =
super kits?
You can't answer until I hear the 1000 words though.! :=3D)
