I am obsessed with having anchor charts hanging in my classroom! I love the way they look and I also love how much they help the students throughout the year! One problem though…I am not an artist. I never have been! So my anchor charts could never look fancy because I couldn’t draw the components I needed. I guess you could say they were not Pinterest worthy! :) I decided to start making my own using clip-art and cute fonts that I already have! I wanted to make these available to you also! The process is simple! Grammar Bundle Includes: -Student Journal Charts that match all Anchor Charts -Eight Parts of Speech -Types of Sentences -Comma Rules -Capitalization -Subject and Predicate -Plural Nouns -Using Quotation Marks -Synonyms and Antonyms -What are Homonyms? -Compound Sentences -Contractions -Possessive Nouns -Revise Vs. Edit -Prefix and Suffix -Ending a Sentence

Reading Response Comprehension Vocabulary (Also includes an editable version so you can add your own words, just add a text box in the blanks for your own words.) Writing Centers include hands-on activities, partner activities, and gives the students great exposure to reading comprehension. Centers are all aligned to Common Core Standards AND TEKS (Texas Standards) Each week contains one activity for you to leave in the center for the entire week. Students are meant to rotate to that activity throughout the week as well as other centers. A rotation schedule is given as well as a guide to use on how to use this product appropriately. Each center activity includes a student instruction page for you to print off and leave in the center all week. Each center activity is meant to be an independent or partner activity so you can conduct small groups during this time. Students should be challenged but able to complete the activity with minimal help from the teacher. (The student instruction page really helps in this area.) These are print and go centers, no prep required except providing a book on the response centers. NOTE Some of these activities are the same each six weeks, but the students will create different versions of them. This helps the students understand what activity they are doing and get into a routine with centers.
