Hey all! And happy Teacher Appreciation Week! My kiddos are working on their final performance task of the year (I hope!) and I realized I never shared this little transitions packet I made. Please don't mind my empty word wall - I took the words down for testing! When I first introduced transitions, my students were familiar with sequential transitions such as first, next, additionally, finally, but not so familiar with transitions such as "on the other hand." With this little packet, I introduced some more complex transitions and students practiced adding them to sentences. In this download, you'll find an anchor chart: Transition word sort (we completed this activity on the SMARTboard): A blank word wall for students to put in their notebooks: A printable transition word wall (I open this file every time we are writing essays): Quarter size transition word walls (some students taped these on their desks; also great for writing folders or writing notebooks): Sentence completion practice (there's an answer key as well!)
