I had quite the little family today! Six students is what I had until lunch! Non the less we had fun!
Today we discussed blends,(cl,br,fr...etc) and it went great! I first asked if they knew what a blend was. Once we established what it was I had them think of words containing blends. They were to all have at least 3 and write them on the board.
After that they had a little worksheet to help reinforce.
Since it was St Patrick's Day we also made shamrock shakes! We discussed that we add 3 colors (brown, white and green) and it turns into 1 color, just like blends have 2 letters but then only male 1 sound. I think they enjoyed it!
We are still doing our best with our Rider Reading Challenge!
