Busy Making Words!

This week we got down to business as we finally had our first vowel visit our class! Hooray! We can make words now! Check out some of the fun activities we did with "a". The students learned that "a" is  super hero letter. They learned that "a" is in disguise when it makes the "short a" sound. The letter "a" pretends to be lazy and sit and eat apples all day long. Every time she eats an apple, she says "Ah, Ah, Ah". When she is not in disguise, she gets to say her super power name (long a). Ask your child about these super powers! They will get a kick out of teaching you.
We learned about the "at" family and built many words. We used our iPhones to send "at messages".

Daily 4! During Daily 4, the students get practice working independently and building their reading and writing skills. Take a look at some of the hard work they did today!
Abby used our new sight words "to" and "go" and wrote all of these sentences by herself! She wants to go to Boston, Maine, Hawaii and Mexico! Sounds like a great trip to me.

Arianna got cozy in the book nook while independently reading.

Carine found a special spot in the teacher's chair to read her book.

Dominick is going to take a trip to Mars! We have a future astronaut here.

Stella built more "at" words on the iPad.


Hailey built at words using our smart board.
