The -ing- Word Family

Using the Interactive Whiteboard, the students practiced using the -ing word family. When creating the lesson, I thought it would be helpful for the students to see the base word and the suffix in two different colors. They really seemed to grasp this concept and have all been implementing the -ing word family into their writing! 

The student is using our homemade wand for the stylus pen so he can reach the top of the board as he drags the suffix to a base word of his choice.

The student is coming up to the Interactive Whiteboard to drag the suffix to a base word. The student will then read the word to the class and use it in a sentence.

The student is reading all of the words that we created.

 After the mini-lesson on the -ing word family, the students were put to a group challenge! They had to put the puzzle pieces together to create words that all end in -ing! Of course, they did it perfectly! :) I'm such a proud teacher!

Here is the puzzle jumbled up, except for a couple pieces of the puzzle that have been solved already!

Success!
