Example Questions from the 5th grade Mountain Language kit:

#1. Is the noun a common noun or a proper noun?______________

If a proper noun, write it correctly._______________________

You generally display Mountain Language on a bulletin board; however, there are other ways to display it if a bulletin board is not available. There will be a picture on your kit that shows you an example of how it could be displayed. Words are printed on brightly colored, high quality card stock. Each card has a code in the bottom left hand corner that tells you where that card fits on the board, what concept is reviewed, and what question it correlates to on the
worksheet.

Each kit includes:

• General instructions
• Language word cards
• Black line master of student worksheet (Kindergarten will have a page of suggested questions instead of a worksheet.)
• A list of concepts reviewed under each grade level is on the front of the cover sheet.
• Set of numbers
• Order form
• A logo and a picture is provided on the cover sheet.

Mountain Language can be used as a warm-up activity, part of a seat work assignment, a sponge activity, a bell ringer, etc. After determining the technique to be used, you will then be able to decide the number of questions the students will answer each day. If time permits, we suggest that you finish the board once a week so that the students are reviewing previously taught material on a weekly basis.

Every day the students will answer the assigned daily questions on their student worksheet. The worksheet stays the same throughout the year- it is the words on the board that change. When the students have completed the worksheet, the teacher will flip the cards on the board,  giving new words to be answered during the next time period. There are 32-40 words under each number on the board.

You will love this easy review format. It will look great in your classroom. You can extend many of the questions and incorporate writing skills. Your students will love Mountain Language!
