Adverbs

Hey Ya'll! Sorry the absence lately. Last week was a rough one personally so I took a few days off from blogging. Today I'm going to share with you our adverb posters. We actually did these about 2 weeks ago and am just now getting around to sharing it with you. When we came back from Christmas break (I know thats been forever ago!) we dove head first into the world of adverbs. These have been so difficult for my sweet kiddos. We've moved on, but still do a small review on them everyday. Anyways...here is the anchor chart I made to help introduce them. It started out blank at first, then we brainstormed different types.

After reviewing these for a few days, some of my kiddos just weren't getting it. Of course, Amy from Step into Second Grade came to my rescue! She blogged about making adjective posters. I loved the idea so I decided to use them for adverbs instead. I printed out 4 verb pictures from google (eat, write, run, and sleep) and glued them onto butcher paper. I split my kids up into groups and had them rotate to each one. They had to write adverbs that described each picture. Was it perfect? No! Was every word spelled correctly? No! Was it effective? YES!!! This just seemed to click with my strugglers. They used the anchor chart posted above to help guide them. I didn't hear one conversation that didn't have to do with adverbs. It was fantastic!

I displayed our final products underneath our whiteboard. They were so proud of their finished product. A lot of the same words were repeated but that is OK!

Sometimes I get so caught up in the cuteness of things that are on TPT that I forget how effective the simple things can be.
