Web School for Language Arts

Over the years, I have found that teaching language arts can be a cumbersome task. There is so much to cover. Fortunately, I found a web site that tunes in to the important pieces of Grammar that need to be taught.

The web site is called Web School (http://webschool.wash.k12.ut.us/).

I use a game called Mad Libs. This is where the kids are given a topic and they fill in the blanks with nouns, adverbs, adjectives, etc.. This helps them remember in a fun and meaningful way.

We do this as a whole group activity. When the puzzle is finished, it is read out loud.

**In some puzzles, names are used. Please do not use a child's name in class.
