This morning we focused on the sight word all. Gracyn wrote it and practiced reading it in a poem called All About Spiders, which shared some interesting facts about spiders. Next, we completed an election themed worksheet entitled Vote for Vowels. In this activity, we identified which of the pictured items in the row contained the target short vowel. We focused on sounding out the words and listening to the vowel sound. She then added the missing vowel to three CVC words (ex. h_t for hat). We read chapter 5, “Gold in the Grass” in our Magic Tree House book. In this chapter, Annie and Jack encounter a Triceratops and they find a gold medallion in the grass. Gracyn answered comprehension follow-up questions and we worked on writing in complete sentences while sounding out the words. Finally, we had a few minutes left for ZAP! sight word practice. Gracyn’s tricky words today were came and new.
