I've been meaning to post this for a week or so, but finally sitting down to do it! For the past few weeks, I've been working on fluency with my first and second graders. Most of them are having trouble using punctuation to dictate their expression...so, I made this little game for them! Using words off of our district's high frequency word list, I came up with {simple} sentences, and left off the end marks. Students take turns pulling out the cards to determine if it needs a period or question mark. Once they read it the way it should sound, they graph their results on the "Punctuation Graphing" Record Sheet. The first one to color all five hearts, is the winner!

On a side note, Steve and I are working on a blog makeover...Here's a sneak peak of what it's going to look like:
There are a lot of graphing ideas out there with Skittles, M&Ms, and other kinds of candy...Once I used those options I started thinking about other foods to graph. I did these last year with my 2nd graders and they were a big hit! I was able to purchase all of these items at Costco (pretty cheap, too!)
