  25. Mrs Reed’s Resources 

    I love the task cards! They are my go-to activity for teaching formal/informal! My 2nd graders find the cards super challenging and often come up to ask me how to read some of those formal words, but I’m happy about that. It’s good exposure, and productive struggle is a good thing! When they hear me read those cards back to them, they can really hear the difference and they walk away going OH it’s FORMAL lol.

    I turned the cards in this activity into slides to use in Seesaw in 2nd-grade. I read the cards to the students. In Seesaw, there is a recording feature, so I also recorded the text for students who did not attend the virtual classes. I also provided the pages for students to complete. The student response to these cards was that of great praise, like that in the other items I purchased! I was moved to 3rd-grade during the week of Veterans Day, so I plan to use them again, this time in Google Classroom.
