    Resources:

    • Mad Libs with word bank bins: When my second graders learned about parts of speech, they became obsessed with Mad Libs but the words they came up with weren't usually very creative so after reading another story about bathrooms, I decided to make word bank bins- a bin full of nouns, one of verbs, and one of adjectives.
