What's the subject?

Our Grinch learning today was all about the subject and predicate. The "who the sentence is about" (the subject) and "the action or telling about the subject" (the predicate.

Apparently, the Grinch got ahold of our sentences, cut them apart, and we had to put them back together. This active cut, sort, and glue offered several opportunities to talk about the subject and predicate and learn from each other!




The students had to color the subjects in green and the predicates in red. It helps students identify that subjects are almost always in the beginning of the sentences and predicates are often at the end ... if students were paying attention to the clear color-coded message on the board ...

It was the perfect cut, sort, glue, and talk lesson for the second day before Winter Break AND the "little" concert planned this afternoon!
