Our word work study this week focused on identifying and sorting short and long vowel sounds, and making and reading words that follow these patterns. We talked about how each vowel can make two different sounds and identified words with both long and short vowel sounds. The kids then played a long vowel/short vowel concentration game with a partner. We are working to upload an example to our Seesaw pages.
We are continuing to work on our autobiography during Writer's Workshop. This week we focused on a paragraph about our school. The students are learning to organize a paragraph with a topic sentence, details and examples to support their topic sentence and then a conclusion sentence to "wrap it all up." Next week we will write about our favorite things!
