The only thing I’ve actually seen work is to apply the skill of the week to a writing piece they would be doing anyway and dedicating points to it.
For example: if students practiced using infinitives and they are writing their weekly journal or essay question on the weekly story, you can let them know you are grading for their use of infinitives. Once they learn a skill out of context (grammar worksheet), you can put it in the hat and then draw. Your journal entry will be graded for content & (previously learned skill).
Like you said, they get the skill, but they need opportunities & incentives to practice.

Totally agree. I often will add sentence combining to get a different kind of syntax manipulation.

As an elementary teacher I use error analysis a lot. I have them correct my purposeful incorrect writing or delete a name from student papers and we correct as a whole group. Usually those two methods help them pay more attention to grammar and apply it effectively.

As an elementary teacher, one part that I’m learning to emphasize more and more is getting students to analyze why a sentence is correct. We do mentor sentences and students spend more time looking at a well-written, correct sentence. Then it makes writing the corrections later so much better and when they write they are doing much better because they have seen it right more.

I love my kid so much. He was with me throughout all of elementary but has been at the middle school for the past 3 years. He had only a handful of kids he knew from our elementary. He made all of his new friends on his own. I have been meeting them one by one and am sooooo impressed with their character, manners, interests, and grades. He chose his friends wisely! Anyone else experience this?

I just recently resigned my teaching position for a position in another state to be closer to family. I will be making a lot less money (about 1/2 as much). Am I crazy to give up a high paying teaching position that took me 12 years to get to on the pay scale or is being closer to my family worth the pay cut? Anybody ever found themselves in a similar situation? I gave up tenure too. Honestly, I wasn’t happy living in my home town making the most money I've made. I guess it’s a leap of faith!
