Sentence strips would've probably worked better, but I was out! Then we could move them around until the topics made sense together, and then we finally talked about how to make it 'look' like a paragraph by adding indents and going until the end of the line.<br /><br />Jenny<br /><a href="http://luckeyfrogslilypad.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Luckeyfrog's Lilypad</a>luckeyfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09338266098096236978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297810400935419777.post-53884112303363347252012-04-25T16:11:51.354-07:002012-04-25T16:11:51.354-07:00Love this!

I bet the upper elementary teachers at your school LOVE you! The kids look like they are well on their way to mastering the paragraph ~Amanda @ http://theteachingthief.blogspot.com/Amanda Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584912126047807038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297810400935419777.post-54341642365872100522012-04-25T07:47:02.318-07:002012-04-25T07:47:02.318-07:00Love the sticker idea!!!

Super cute - I'm all...I love the sticker idea!! Super cute - I'm all about lame. ;) It works haha! <br /><br />We use highlighters a lot in my room. Green for topic sentence, yellow for detail sentences, and red for our conclusion sentence. Once they highlight the red (or pink) they know to start a new paragraph with a new idea. Seems to work pretty well but I also have kids who struggle with paragraphs.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.secondgradesugarandspice.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Second Grade Sugar and Spice</a>Miss DeCarbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076590891881907306noreply@blogger.com
