The students practiced the long e sound (spelled ee), and discovered our high frequency words "come" and "does." Boy were they shocked to see how they are spelled after saying the sounds and thinking that they knew how to spell them.
In reading we are studying all types of families and how things can be sorted into families. The students sorted buttons and told how they sorted.
In math we continue to work with numbers in the teens. For 15 we say ten five, and that helps us write the next number ten six (16). They can easily go between the way we count and the "say ten" way of counting.
Our chapter book read aloud The Doll People is getting exciting. The students love drawing and writing about the story. I looked up and she had written the words "the basement." I asked her how did you know how to spell that? She looked at me as if I was crazy, "I said the sounds." All of the students are soooooooo good at listening to the sounds and being able to then write the word. They rarely ask me how to spell something, and if they do, I just unblend the word, and off they go to write it on their own.
Magic.
I'm looking forward to more magic tomorrow!
