To review our english grammar memory work, we made a sentence chain. Since prepositions link words in a sentence together, I thought this would be a simple way to review, “What is a preposition?,” while connecting the concept to something concrete and literal.
I cut strips of paper from card stock and wrote one word on each strip.
I then asked the boys to place them in the correct order. As a group, they did this easily, which was exciting because it means they remember the sentence!
& Finally, I stapled each paper into a circle, ran the next strip through the circle and stapled it into a circle, until all the strips formed a chain. They loved seeing the chain come together & quickly decided they should play with it when we were done.
Oooo! i love this! I cut the sentences into words for the boys sometimes, but I never thought of the chain! Awesome!
