We have been reviewing for last few weeks to get ready for testing this week.  The day before the test....  BAM!  I was looking at blank stares and hearing crickets.  Not a hand went up....  they had officially had ENOUGH!  Some quick thinking on my part and told them to line up to go outside.  It was only 10:00 a.m. so they knew something was up.  I dug into my cabinet and grabbed a bunch of boxes of sidewalk chalk.  We went outside and made a big circle and I gave them a piece of chalk and our review was exciting once again!  First we reviewed commas in a series!

Then we moved to a new space and worked on writing capital letters in the correct places.  Why do they write Mrs. with all caps?  I will never know!  I just had to take a picture of it!
We went over contractions, writing the date, and anything else I could think of!
This was one of those moments that I got to remember why I love teaching....  when you look at their little faces and see smiles while they are learning!  So this will be a regular activity for me every single year!  

Have a great evening!
