This week we began learning how to read and write color words.
I was excited to find this book at our school's book fair last week. I can't think of a better way for my classroom to learn about color words - they LOVE Pete the Cat!
Throughout the story, Pete steps on some different things that change the color of his shoes. The students recalled something from the story that Pete stepped in and sound spelled it.
Nishia wrote that Pete the Cat stepped into strawberries which turned his shoes red.
The students even made their own books all about colors. They came up with their own title, words and illustrations. It has been fun to watch them write their books.
We have been working on our popcorn words, too!
Writing popcorn words in Play-Doh is slightly more fun than pencil and paper.
Write them with an etcha-sketch? Even better!
When we don't know how to spell a word, we can stretch it out like a slinky, saying the sounds we hear slowly. Elliot took a turn stretching a word out. The kids have been working so hard and this visual seems to help. Keep it up friends!
