Grammar Interactive Notebook Activities for Second Grade

I would rather buy from TPT

More about this resource

This second grade grammar interactive notebook bundle makes it easy, effective, and engaging to teach grammar. These interactive notebooks combine traditional notes with interactive hands-on activities that require students to think deeply about grammar and make grammar fun!
 
Students love the manipulative nature of these activities and teachers love that they make assessment easy. Interactive notebooks are great for visual and kinesthetic learners and they are a great tool for differentiated instruction. They are aligned with the common core standards and make a great addition to your grammar instruction.
These interactive notebook activities are also included in our money-saving Second Grade Grammar Bundle. The Second Grade Grammar Bundles includes ALL 34 interactive notebook activities plus 32 PowerPoint mini lessons, writing activities, task card sets, and assessments, including digital assessments. It includes everything you need to teach, practice, and assess grammar in 10 minutes per day.  If you’ve already purchased the Second Grade Grammar Bundle you already have these interactive notebook activities.
Interactive notebooks help students learn new skills because instead of passively copying down notes, they require students to interact with and think about the material which leads to deeper conceptual understanding.
 
Students LOVE making interactive notebooks and don’t even realize they are learning! They practice important grammar skills by inserting and moving around flaps, foldables, charts, etc. They love all of the different parts and multiple modalities. 
 
These notebooks are easy to use and don’t waste valuable class time. The cuts are simple and students follow the same routine throughout the year. There’s no unnecessary coloring. Students can quickly cut, glue, and go! It only takes 10 minutes to complete these activities.

How to Use in the Classroom:
You can use these Interactive Notebooks in a variety of ways. Here are some ideas to inspire you:
  • Copy notebooks on different colored paper. This keeps kids interested and makes organization simple.
  • These interactive notebook activities feature simple cuts and repeated patterns and can easily be integrated into a 10-minute grammar lesson.
  • Whole group: Select an activity and model how to solve the problems. Project an activity on the whiteboard and work through examples together. Or let students complete independently and share with a partner before you discuss as a class. Use as a whole group activity to reinforce new skills
  • Small group: Use in a small group to provide extra support to learners.
  • Independent work: Place in a center for use during your reading block or have students work on interactive notebooks as morning work. 
  • Use interactive notebooks to help differentiate learning. You canallow students who need more support to refer to their interactive notebooks during other grammar activities like task cards, writing, or even assessments.
  • Assessment: Easily assess student mastery of skills by reviewing their Interactive Notebooks

Do you have Interactive Notebooks for other grade levels?

Do you have additional activities available for teaching grammar?

Yes. The full-year grammar bundle also includes PowerPoint mini lessons, writing activities, task cards, and assessments. You can see it here.

How can you use these as an assessment tool?

Two suggestions for using the Interactive Notebooks as assessments are to do a quick check for mastery as students are completing the activity, or at the end of a unit using a rubric to score it.  The time frame would depend on how you move through the skills.

Do you usually print these on colored paper? 

Yes, colored paper works great! It makes them fun to look at, and nice and easy to see since they are gluing it in their notebooks.

I use interactive notebook activities in grammar once per week.
