Word Sorts

As part of our word study (aka phonics), we have been looking at different ways that long vowel sounds can be spelled.  This week we are focussing on the long u sound. Students read and sort words according to different spelling patterns:  u - e (like in cube), oo (like in school), and ew (like in Drew).  We sort the words in different ways (ask your child to explain how to do a "No Peeking" sort) throughout the week and then sort and glue them before they come home.

Please be watching for a June calendar that will be coming home on Friday, as well as numerous notes explaining our special June events.  The year is quickly coming to a close!
