{ar} and {or}

Today we read "My Daddy Snores."  The kids absolutely loved it!  I highly recommend it as well.  We used the book to review {or}, make predictions, and practice retelling/sequencing.  

 I made a little recording page for part of the writing connections, but we used handwriting paper instead.

I also like to read this book or "The Enormous Watermelon" to review {or}.  We've been studying plants and working in our school garden so they're perfect connections to science.

 Here are some of my favorite {ar} books. . .

Literature Connections for "ow"

We made an "ow" sunflower with "ow" words on each petal.   There is a template below.

To review "ou" we also read several books. . .

One of my favorite poetry books. . . perfect for the month of April!

Literature connections for "ou". . .

We wrote stories about our "owies". . .and then we had a "sour" taste test {which was the favorite activity of course}!  We tasted sour worms, sour patch kids, and "cry baby" gum.  The students wrote about things that taste sour and their favorite "sour" item from the taste test.

Some of my kids were pretty tough and the "sour stuff" didn't phase them at all!

Others had some pretty cute facial expressions!
