King Of ING!

We learned that -ing says “ing” and that when we see ing in a word, we read “ing.”  I gave them one ing word and wrote the word on our anchor chart.  Then we started brainstorming other -ing words.  We continued to add to this chart all week.  

Later in the week we learned that our poor friend The King Of Ing got lost on his way to the castle.  Luckily for us, we had a map.  Mr. Greg had drawn the map on yellow paper.   Our -ing words were posted around the room.  Everyone WALKED and found a word.  We sat down on the carpet.  We read our word and put the word on our map.  Finally, the King found Castle ING!

We also made a portrait of the  King Of Ing.

The students made their kings.  Then they wrote -ing words on the king.

And of course, we had to make a hat.  And of course, it’s a crown so it required glitter!

We had so much fun with the King Of Ing.  We were engaged and now everywhere we look we find -ing words!  That makes this week of activities a success….it sticks with them.
