Less than $5 2nd Grade Writing Activities (by rating)

Suggesting prompts can be extremely helpful for students when it comes to writing. By providing a prompt, you can give students a specific topic or area to focus on, which can help them better organize their thoughts and ideas. Additionally, writing prompts can help spark creativity and encourage students to think outside the box.

There are six St. Patrick's Day writing prompts, including coordinating primary handwriting pages. Students can also illustrate a scene in the space above their writing.

Not only will using writing prompts help get your students excited about writing, but it will also help them to practice and improve their skills. By focusing on specific areas such as grammar, punctuation, and spelling, your students will hone their technique and produce well-written pieces of work. They’ll also be able to develop their unique voice and style – something essential for any writer!

Colorful Semantics is a structured language intervention designed to support the development of language and communication skills, particularly in children with speech and language difficulties. This resource includes jigsaw cards for children to match together the correct color coded sentence with picture.

Colorful Semantics uses color coded cards to help children to learn the important elements of a sentence and how to join them together in the correct order. By visually representing each part of the sentence with a specific color, learners can better understand the structure and meaning of sentences, as well as the relationships between words.

How and when might you use this?

This approach is often implemented through a variety of interactive and hands-on activities, such as sentence building games, storytelling, and picture-based exercises. It can be tailored to the individual needs and abilities of learners, making it suitable for use in both classroom settings and speech and language clinics.

What’s included?

30 jigsaw cards to match the picture to the correct color coded sentence.

Do your students need some additional supports with paragraphs? My students were having difficulty with developing ideas that were on topic. They would write, however the materials didn't align. So, I made this as a practice to identify what things go together.

What is included?

• 3 pages you can use as posters or visual introductions for introductions, supporting details and conclusions
• Paragraph orders - 5 cut and paste pages. Students will read the sentences, cut them out, and place them in the correct order.
• Identify introductions / conclusions (3 pages each with 3 paragraphs on each page). Student will read the paragraph and choose the best intro/conclusion from a choice of 3.
• Identify supporting details (2 pages each with 3 paragraphs on each page). Student will read the paragraph and choose sentences that support the topic sentence.
• Write a paragraph - Use the page of writing prompts and a hamburger writing template to practice writing a paragraph.

These resources can be used in direct instruction, small /large groups. I have attached it as a pdf, so you could project the pages onto your board and write. Please reach out with any questions: untilthepiecesfit2@gmail.com

French Cahier de Souvenirs - Student Memory Autograph Booklets are designed with you in mind. Quick and easy, NO PREP activity that can have students gleefully filling in their favourite memories from the school year. Engaging and fun for students, a great activity to tie up the year for tired teachers. This booklet will make a terrific keepsake for your students for years to come. A fun cumulative activity for students to see just how much they have learned all year long!

How to use this resource:

I make booklets by copying the pages by multiples of 2 on my printer. This is very easy to do.

1. Click print

2. Select the printer and number of copies, then search down midway and click the MULTIPLE bar

3. Select 2 so you get 2 pages per printed copy

4. You can choose to bring double sided or single sided but I prefer single sided for the little ones (you can always take out the page if they make a mistake…harder to do if they also filled out the entire other side…fewer tears for me, the better!)

5. Staple into booklets. I stapled along the binder spirals so they looked more authentic

OR

1. You can print one image per page and make the books bigger

Who can use this resource:

I used this resource with my Grade 1 and 2 students at the end of the year to celebrate our accomplishments and to create a book of our favourite memories. Students loved brainstorming ideas for the various pages. It's amazing what they remember and appreciate from the past ten months of school.

Happy memories, big successes, and all the friends made during our year are worth treasuring. I hope you love filling out all your class memories!

I would love to know how you are using this product in your classroom. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have anything to say about this resource. I love helping teachers as much as I can. A product review also is a great way of letting me know, and leaving a review earns you extra credit for more amazing TeachShare products!

Who can use this resource:

French Immersion teachers in the Kindergarten to Grade Three classroom and those teaching beginner French students. Can be used at the Grade 4-6 level with Core French students learning to segment and blend complex sounds.

What grade level:

I personally use these activities with 1st and 2nd Grade students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to them year after year with their students. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.
