Vowel Bats and Working with Words!

Has your child been singing "Vowel Bat" this week?

This week we are also reviewing rhyming and letter names.

 

Also students are sorting words with short vowels and enjoying listening to stories.

 

Finally we are learning about the a very interesting mammal, the bat! 

Students are identifying text features and interacting with stories on PebbleGo.
