Remember Those Periods!

This is the cutest idea to help your students remember to put a period at the end of their sentence.  I stole this idea from the occupational therapist at our school, and I HAD to share it with you because I think it’s a genius idea!  The kids wrote a sentence, and then glued a button down at the end as their period!

First the students wrote three sentences making sure they had finger space and a period at the end.

Once I checked their sentences, they could choose three, small, round buttons from the back table.

They placed the button on top of their periods and glued them down!

This was such a good reinforcement to teach periods using a button manipulative.  The kids loved it because it was different from normal sentence writing!
