During Word Study First Graders learned about two new sounds (/an/ and /am/) that we call, “glued sounds.” Glued sound is a term for word families in which one or more sounds are altered a bit. We teach these as word families because the sounds are not easily segmented. Heart words that were taught in this unit include: from, have, do, does.
The big idea we have been exploring during Literacy is: How do habits of character help us do work? To understand the habits of character (initiative, perseverance and collaboration) students took on various challenges: cup tower challenge and jump rope challenge. Students participated in a close reading of, “The Most Magnificent Thing” and spent time writing reflections on their challenges.
