Hi all:
We have a fairly normal, five-day-week this week. My goal is to get through a set of four centers this week. This will allow a little more small-group reading instruction than we have been having recently.
Speaking of reading, we have been working with the letter "i". Many students are (appropriately) challenged by this vowel. In the past we have been doing a great deal of switching first letters (cat to bat) and last letters (mat to map) which is a bit more challenging. Switching vowels (sat to sit) takes this up to a whole new level, somewhat like moving from driving a minivan to flying a helicopter. If this seems a challenge for your child, feel free to make up a game ("What would happen if I switched the /a/ sound for an /i/ sound in mad?") to play while driving around or eating dinner.
The auction is this Friday. My understanding is that our artwork is framed and almost ready to go. I look forward to seeing many of you on Friday evening.
