between each in chalk 
● Tell the students that they will each have a turn to come up to the board, read 
their word to the class and stick it in the proper category based on its ed 
ending sound 
● Call one student at a time to the board until all the cards are on the board

how to say the word with the proper ed ending sound

word in the past simple and they will say it when it is their turn.

and each create one sentence of the story that builds off of the prior
