Identifying the 8 Parts of Speech in Quotes from Children's Literature
This product contains 8 “worksheets,” one for each of the 8 parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. Rather than just write simple sentences, I decided for this product to make it more “real” by using actual quotes from some of our most beloved children’s literature!

Teaching style
It's all about teaching the love of learning! Suzanne believes that education should be fun and engaging, so her classroom has always been full of unique learning ideas and experiences for her students. "Controlled chaos" might be a good term to apply here! Students may be filming an op ed for a video, creating period newspapers for a novel being read, performing science experiments, creating a "to-scale" city on a grid, or doing a geometry scavenger hunt and documentary throughout the school!
Awards & shining teacher moments
Suzanne was named Louisiana Middle School Teacher of the Year and was awarded the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. She has received numerous awards and been awarded close to $50,000 in grants for her classroom and school.
