This is the cutest idea to help your students remember to put a period at the end of their sentence. I stole this idea from the occupational therapist at our school, and I HAD to share it with you because I think it's a genius idea! The kids wrote a sentence, and then glued a button down at the end as their period!
First the students wrote three sentences making sure they had finger space and a period at the end.
Once I checked their sentences, they could choose three, small, round buttons from the back table.
They placed the button on top of their periods and glued them down!
This was such a good reinforcement to teach periods using a button manipulative. The kids loved it because it was different from normal sentence writing!
