This is one of our most popular Scoot games.
Here are a few journal entries using our calendar words.
The students like to do a pair and share where they talk about the words.
The kiddos also enjoy sharing what they wrote. It is a great communication tool, especially for your ELL students because they are learning the language as they learn these words.
Here are some of the writing my students have done through the year using these calendar words. The words give them confidence as well as helps them to stay on topic.
This shows where one of my students needed some help choosing 5 calendar words to write about, so he wrote the words on top of the page. I love this idea! Kids can be so smart!
As you can see, I used my student’s idea with other students and it helped them so much!
This was how much the writing improved in my first grade classroom as we used these calendar words!
Each card has a question about these words so you could use it as discussion cards, exit cards, as a Scoot game, read around the room cards or as our Brain Bounce game, which our kiddos love because they like to break up into teams.

This bonus question was “How were you a quality student?”
We put our word of the day calendar piece up and clap the syllables and discuss the meaning of a word like silly. Then we go back to our seats and write the word in our calendar notebook.
This student decided to use some other words of the day. I was so happy to see how she put all these words together!
I am also seeing my students using their calendar words in their daily journals. Wow! She even circled the words after she wrote the entry.
I also was excited to see this student point out a calendar word from our January calendar.”Look Mrs. Beckner, the word blizzard. This was one of our calendar words.” How cool is it to see them remember words from a couple of months ago! Yay!!
This little guy is working on putting words in order for our April Activities. They loved that I put the words on egg shapes because they asked me to do that for April.
This gal had the great idea to highlight the calendar words on her sheet.
The words are cut out and glued. Then they copy the sentence, in their best handwriting of course:)
And the last part of these print and go sheets is to write your own joke. Some of them were actually pretty good. I imagine they heard them somewhere.
