Is your child getting stuck on a word while you're reading?

If your child gets stuck on a word have them ask the following questions...

1. Does it have a sneaky "e" at the end of the word? If so then the vowel in the middle of the word will say it's name

2. Are there two vowels walking? If so then the first vowel says it's name and the second vowel is silent.

3. Does the word have a "Bossy R"? IR ER UR AR

Vowel rules

We know that when two vowels are together in the word...the first letter says it's name and the second letter is silent. View this video with your child to help them remember their vowel rules.

Place Value and Technology

We are learning about place value as well as what an odd and even number looks like!
Here you will see our class creating numbers with their blocks and using the tablets to write the number. We worked with partners during this activity and grew together in this first grade skill!
