More Main Idea and Possessive Nouns Freebie

I feel like main idea is one of those things that I could teach all year and some of my kids would still be lost. I can't blame them. Sometimes we read a story and even I am asking well was it mainly supposed to be about this or this?? Anyway, so I found more activities I couldn't pass up. The first two here are from Amy Lemons main idea and Henry and Mudge packets. I laminated these cards and placed them around the room and the kiddos went on a little walk and wrote the main idea of each.

 

 The next day we read a Henry and Mudge book and and wrote the main idea on the pocket and three supporting details on the bones. They did great with this.

We also started covering possessive nouns which is another tough one. Click {HERE} to pick up this freebie. After my kids did this it kinda made more sense to them. They got to pick a picture card with a person or animal and a picture card with an object and then wrote a matching phrase. For example if they had the pictures baby and cake their phrase said "The baby's cake."

 

So, yesterday I pretty much got to live every teacher's dream. Our county has a program called Feed the Children and basically what it does is allows teachers at low income schools go school supply shopping for FREE. Yep, I got to go in this warehouse and just fill up bags with goodies. I even got a class set of Phineous and Ferb books for free that I plan to give as Christmas gifts. Jealous??

 

Well, I am in the bed sick, with a field trip planned for tomorrow so no sick day for me. We are seeing the play James and the Giant Peach so maybe I can sneak a nap. Guess I better go get some rest.
