We enjoyed reading the story, Who Stole the Cookies from the Cookie Jar? last week. You can't read this story without eating a cookie so I splurged and baked some cookies for the class.
After our snack and story, we played a game where we all sat in a circle and chanted the "Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?" cheer and practiced inserting our own names into it. We passed around a container of fake cookies, too. On the back of the fake cookies were different types of punctuation. Who ever's name was chanted picked a cookie from the bag and told the class about the punctuation mark - what it is called and what it does.
This was a really fun group activity I saw on Pinterest.com. It helped the students recognize the different types of punctuation better, too. Man, what would I do without Pinterest?! :)
