In order to have fun and to form sentences, they will have to mingle with new partners, an arrangement that proves so successful that the nouns and verbs have their own uproarious Field Day. Teams are formed verbs stick with verbs and proper nouns, long nouns, and pronouns pair off, yet these exclusive groups prove ineffective.
When the students go outside for Field Day, the envious words come to life, determined to have their own good time. Hunting for nouns and verbs is a daily routine in Mr. Grade 2-4–Pulver and Reed introduced grammar in a playful way with Punctuation Takes a Vacation (Holiday House, 2003), and their instructional romp continues here with animated words that are brightly colored, boldly labeled, and packed with personality. You can visit her website at From School Library Journal: Lynn Rowe Reed writes and illustrates picture books and lives in Indiana. I checked out the preview and knew I had to have it! What a perfect read-aloud for Field Day! It arrived a few days later, and I fell in love with the book as soon as I read it.Robin Pulver is a popular picture book author whose website is. but it does present a challenge of what you're going to do with the students the other half of the day.Ī few weeks ago, I was poking around Amazon (an affiliate link follows), and I ran across the book Nouns and Verbs Have a Field Day by Robin Pulver.
Personally, I prefer the half-day method. Other schools keep all of the students outside for the entire day. Most schools split the day in half, and send the older students outside for half of the day, and then swap around lunchtime and send the younger students outside for the other half. I have taught at five schools during my career, and it seems that every school arranges their Field Day just a bit differently. Now, I mainly look forward to it because it signals the end of the school year, and its arrival typically means summer vacation is only a handful of days away! Students tend to be hyper energized, which can lead to an exhausting day for teachers. As a teacher, I must admit, I don't love it quite so much. it's one of those special days that I absolutely loved as a child.
