Weekly and Monthly

Vocabulary Plans

Sometimes the hardest part about creating

activities for students is choosing which types to

do and when to do them.

The following is a

suggested weekly and monthly plan of

activities organized by grade level. These sets of

materials can be prepared at the end of the

previous week, over the weekend, or even on

Monday morning. The creation and preparation

of all activities will take only minutes!
