St Patrick’s Day is right around the corner! I love using this holiday to teach about idioms!
What is an idiom?
Idioms are words that don’t mean what they say! They are usually a group of words, well known and used by native speakers of a language, that can’t be understood by the individual meaning of the words.
Why teach idioms?
Students develop a clear understanding of idioms with direct instruction, read-alouds, teacher modeling and student-centered activities.
Here is one way to teach idioms:
• When presenting idioms to students, introduce a group of 4 to 5 idioms together. It is best to group the idioms into a category, for example; before St. Patrick’s Day teach idioms that use green in them!
• Always use stories or relate personal conversations to introduce each idiom in context.
Great for Kinder through 5th grade!

This 11-page packet contains 24 great sentence starters that will get your student writing. Students love to write about their lives and these sentence starters help them begin. We have included sentence starters such as:
