My students are always dying to write with anything BUT a pencil. One of the centers I added this week was “Sparkly Sentences.” It’s super simple and requires very few materials. I post a different picture each week and students write one asking and one telling sentence about the picture. The goal is to make them “sparkle” by adding details and checking for capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. Students write the sentence in pencil first and after proofreading are allowed to make it “sparkle” by tracing over it with the gel and glitter pens.

Super cute and a great way to use all my light colored scrapbooking glitter pens :) What exactly is cups? capitalization, understanding?, punctuation and sense?
ReplyDeleteThank you! They still love it, and it has been a center for a while now. CUPS stands for Capitalization, Usage, Punctuation, and Spelling. :)
ReplyDeleteThank You! I can't wait to use this next year!
ReplyDeleteSo simple for us (teachers/adults) but for them (students/children), its a spectacular activity. It just takes a little dazzle to make it fun for them and we, the educators, get what we need out of them. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhere and what kind of pictures do you use? This sounds like a wonderful activity.
