Excellent note only missing one thing
I love using this in class, it would be perfect if it included an exit ticket portion, I love the power point piece and how brightly colored it is i just feel as it would be more complete with the independent practice.
Super fun and engaging Book Bit
This was super helpful and a great resource before we started the book. It's great and the kids were hooked and super engaged!
Complete Resource
Almost everything you need to teach idioms, adages, and proverbs. It still left me with some questions about the clear differences between adages and proverbs, but it had plenty of examples to help me decipher the difference. Overall, I think this is a tricky standard, and this helped to clarify.
Would be great for an easily-engaged class!
I think that this resource would be awesome if you had kids who were easily bought into learning. I haven't used it yet because I worry that it will fall on deaf ears with my current group, but will be utilizing it eventually!
Thank you!!!
This resource was easy to use and well-organized. My students were engaged and clearly understood the lesson objectives. It saved me a lot of prep time and aligned well with what I needed to teach. I would definitely recommend this to other teachers!

Does this source also address how colons and semi-colons play into things?
Hello! This particular unit does not differentiate between colons and semi-colons. However, this unit from the 4th-grade set does: https://teacherthrive.com/product/fourth-grade-grammar-punctuation/.
