Centers- Singular and Plural Nouns

During our language arts time on Wednesdays I have implemented grammar centers. By this time they have seen me teach the material, and we have had multiple opportunities to practice it together. I also can tell which area each child would benefit the most from having additional instruction in. During this time, they rotate to 4 centers, 3 of which are at an independent level to give them extra practice. Each group also meets once with me to target an aspect of language arts that they need the most support with.

These centers have been very helpful not only in giving me a chance to meet with each student in a small group, but they have also been helping our class with various aspects of teamwork as they all complete the tasks at each center together.

Extra bonus: Most of the kids really look forward to this part of the week!

The past two weeks we have been working on plural nouns. One of the centers we did was concentration, where the students had to match each singular noun to its correct plural form.

 We also did an activity in our groups where I gave them a singular noun on a card, and they had to correctly write the plural form on another card. Once they were matched they could draw one picture of the word on the singular card and more than one on the plural card, to demonstrate they knew the difference between singular and plural. They turned out great, and have been a great reference tool to have hanging in our classroom while we are writing.
