Spring Powerpoint Lesson Plans

Powerpoint Teaching Resources for April, May, and Spring

Welcome my Spring Powerpoint Lesson Plans page that focuses on English and math powerpoint presentations to use for April, May, and spring.

Although I have posted these teaching resources on my Spring Powerpoint Lesson Plans page, the majority of these activities can be used anytime of the school year. The powerpoint presentations on this page contain the following themes which can be used all year long: rain, flowers, animals, and nature.

Many students find traditional grammar and math exercises boring and dull. I encourage you to use these spring powerpoint lesson plans to bring life to these boring exercises.

I have designed my powerpoint presentations to be engaging to your students. The spring powerpoint lesson plans on this page are designed with bright springtime graphics, but these activities could be used throughout the school year.

My spring powerpoint lesson plans have been designed using two fonts: Arial Black and Comic Sans. I chose these fonts because they are the most widely found on most computers, and they will not change the style and format when viewed on different computers.

I use funny and attention grabbing animations when I am designing my spring powerpoints lessons, and I try to locate colorful spring background templates for the powerpoint presentations that I prepare.

Spring Into Colorful Writing Powerpoint
and Student Bulletin Board Display Set

$4.99

This Spring Into Colorful Writing powerpoint set is designed to be a daily writing warm up activity to use with your students. There are 25 different sentences with animated graphics for students to read. Students rewrite these sentences using more descriptive word choices.

There are 25 matching bulletin board display worksheets for you to print out of these 25 sentence slides. During each warm activity, choose a different student to write his or her sentence on the display worksheet.

After you have finished all 25 warm up activity sentences and having one student write his or her new sentence on each of the display worksheets, you will be able to create a vibrant classroom display of your students' Spring Into Colorful Writing sentences.

These spring powerpoint lesson plans contain flowers with animated butterflies as the main background for this presentation. The word color is used on 3 of the introduction slides and on the three student worksheets. If you spell this word colour, then it would take you less than a minute to edit this word on these 6 slides.

After the title slide (shown above), there are two example slides to show students how to write more descriptive sentences. These two example slides are shown below.

There are three student worksheets for students to write their descriptive sentences on in this set of spring powerpoint lesson plans. You do not need to use these worksheets, instead you could have students complete each warm up activity on a scrap piece of paper.

These three worksheets are found on slides 31 - 33 of the presentation. To print these worksheets out for your students, open this document and when you go to print it, select only slides 31 - 33 to print, and by doing this, you will not print out all 34 slides that are in this powerpoint presentation.

This set of lesson plans is designed to be a language arts daily warm activity and there are 25 different sentence prompts to use with your students. Depending on how many prompts you use each day, this activity could last you anywhere from two weeks to a full month.

Step 1: Begin by showing your students the animated writing prompt.

Step 2: Students write their sentences on the worksheets provided or on a piece of scrap paper.

Step 3: Students share their sentences with the class.

In this step, I continue to use my computer and projector. As a student reads his or her sentence example aloud to the class, I type it on a blank powerpoint template in large print so that the whole class can read this sentence displayed on the projector.

I use this time for spontaneous mini-reviews of grammar, parts of speech, and punctuation depending on the examples that my students have come up with. Students love going to the board where their sentence is being projected and pointing out their nouns, verbs, etc.

These three steps take approximately 5 minutes and make a wonderful warm up activity for language arts.

Step 4: I select one student to write his or her sentence on the worksheet that will be displayed on the bulletin board in our classroom. Since there are 25 sentences, each student should have an opportunity to complete at least one of these display worksheets. Below is an example of what these display worksheets look like.

Step 5: When my students have completed all 25 warm up activities and each student has had a chance to write at least one of his or her sentences on our display set, I create a classroom bulletin board display of our 25 descriptive sentences.

This set includes a 5 page bulletin board display banner to help save you time in preparing this display. There are two banners in this set using the spelling colorful and colourful.

Below is an example of this banner. The graphics that are in the banner match the graphics that are contained in the various 25 sentence writing powerpoint prompts.

This powerpoint presentation contains 25 sentence prompts that are written without any descriptive words and students need to add colorful words to make the sentences more interesting to read.

You can individualize each writing prompt to meet your own needs. For one day, you can instruct your students that they need to write a prepositional phrase in their sentences. The next day, instruct your students that they need to write a compound sentence with a coordinating conjunction.

You can guide your students to practice writing more descriptive sentences each day that focus on the grammar topics that you want to reinforce with extra practice by using these 25 warm up activities.

This Spring Into Colorful Writing lesson plans set contains 25 student writing display slides for you to print out and have your students write their new sentences on it. Each student should have an opportunity to write one of their sentences on these display worksheets.

When you have finished with this warm up review unit, you will be able to make a dynamic and colorful spring classroom bulletin board display with your students' 25 descriptive sentences. You can use the 5 page bulletin board banner that is included in this set to help you design your bulletin board display.

This Spring Into Colorful Writing sample will show you an example of the title slide, sentence example slides, sentence prompt slide, student writing worksheet, and the bulletin board display writing worksheets.

Busy Bees Grammar Comparing Powerpoint

$3.00

There are 15 sets of question slides and 15 answer slides in this Busy Bee Grammar Comparing Powerpoint presentation. This set contains a student response worksheet for students to write their answers on. There are a total of 39 slides in this presentation.

This lesson activity is set up with a general spring bee theme. Although I have posted this teaching resource on my spring powerpoint lesson plans page, this lesson can be used anytime of the school year.

These spring powerpoint lesson plans review comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs in a fun way with visual cues for each form of the adjective or adverb.

The following words are reviewed in this spring powerpoint lesson plans:

1. large, larger, largest
2. fat, fatter, fattest
3. fast, faster, fastest
4. hot, hotter, hottest
5. high, higher, highest
6. late, later, latest
7. sad, sadder, saddest
8. pretty, prettier, prettiest
9. loud, louder, loudest
10. many, more, most
11. delicious, more delicious, most delicious
12. bad, worse, worst
13. good, better, best
14. difficult, more difficult, most difficult
15. little, less, least

I have tried to provide a large variety of words in this lesson activity: words that are standard and just add er and est (fast), words that follow the doubling rule (hot), words that follow the y rule (pretty), words that add more or most (difficult), and words that change their form (bad).

This powerpoint activity reviews comparative and superlative forms of words, but I have not used this terminology in this lesson activity. I have found that my students understand this concept better when I call them comparing 2 things and comparing 3 or more things. Once my students have mastered this concept, then I introduce the words comparative and superlative into my students' vocabulary.

Since this is a powerpoint file, once you have downloaded it, you are able to change any of the text that you want. If you want to use the terminology comparative and superlative, you can easily change this on the student worksheet and the title slide.

Your students will love playing this engaging bee theme powerpoint game, and the three animated visual cues that are on each page will help your students to better understand these comparison words.

Below is the score card worksheet that students record their answers on. The directions for filling out the score card are explained to the students in the second slide of this powerpoint presentation.
