Don't you love pasta projects? Last year I combined apostrophes and quotation marks when I did this lesson, this year I decided to separate it out. I used the foldable from Jivey's Stellaluna's Mentor Sentence lesson, and instead of gluing it into their notebooks they glued it on the middle of their construction paper. We had brainstormed full class of both types, they wrote examples of sentences using both type of apostrophes in their notebooks, and then they got to move onto the art project. What motivation a little bit of pasta was to have them come up with their own examples. Adding this to Joanne's Motivation Linky.
These are just the small elbow macaroni with a dot of glue. I had to remind them to write big enough to fit the pasta in its place. Under the pasta and glue they did have to write it with a pencil.
What pasta projects do you complete with your class? I'm always looking for ideas!
So cute! I bet the kids loved using the macaroni instead of just writing it out. Thanks for sharing!
