Shhhhh! We are having fun with DIGRAPHS!!

This week, we have been learning ALL about digraphs! (sh, ch, wh, and th) We have been practicing these sounds all week! We even found a song by Ne-Yo to help us learn about this "transformer H." On Friday, we worked together as groups to write down as many words as we knew that had this famous transformer H in them. Each group had 5 minutes to write down as many words as they could. The race was VERY close, but the pink group took home with trophy with 20 words! Everyone did SUCH a good job!

Books Are So Much Fun!

We had sooooo much fun during Children's Book Week! We had oreos on Tuesday ("The Good Stuff is in the Middle"). Wednesday was REALLY fun because we got to "Snuggle Up With a Good Book" and wear our PJ's! Thursday was "Sweat it Out With a Good Book," and everyone wore their favorite team's sweatshirt. BUT...Friday was the BEST, because we got to dress like our favorite book character! Here are a few pictures of our week of fun!
