Many of the words follow the CVC pattern or they have that special silent e. ]]> 2020-09-20 15:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762092139 katehasko https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762126839 Students love working with their hands. To keep the classroom exciting, using bottle caps and pictures will engage students while mastering digraphs. The pictures will assist my ELL students in remebering the English proninciation of the word. ]]> 2020-09-20 16:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762126839 katehasko https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762142801 While learning all of the sounds that the different letters represent, it can be hard to remember what the letters will soun like blended together. Using a chart with different pictures representing the blended sounds is a fun, colorful tool for students to reference as they begin mastering early blending sounds. ]]> 2020-09-20 16:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762142801 katehasko https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762164418 Parents want to know what their children are learning, but often times teacher jargon adds an unnecessary barrier. Having open communication and non-time consuming videos to send out to parents is a great way to keep the parent-teacher-student communication line open and uninterrupted. ]]> 2020-09-20 17:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762164418 katehasko https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762172221 Routines and predictability is a great way to improve a student and a teacher's day. This teacher created an outline of her daily phonics lessons with recommended times in order to add some ease to the day. With general concepts listed and the ability to switch out activities for more challenging ones as the year progresses, this resource will be extremely helpful as I begin the daunting challenge of planning entire school days. ]]> 2020-09-20 17:12:58 UTC https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762172221 katehasko https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762184170 Catchy songs and knowing how to write letters correctly are great tools for first graders (and everyone else too). This series on Youtube is a fabulous resource for anyone who wants their students to watch, listen, practice,and excel. ]]> 2020-09-20 17:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762184170 katehasko https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762201546 One of the first words that many students learn to write is their very own name. An activity like this allows the teacher to assess who knows their name and which students are already able to identify which letters are consonants and which are vowels. ]]> 2020-09-20 17:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762201546 katehasko https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762217024 Through my short experince in the world of education, I have noticed students of all ages LOVE to use technology. Incorporating computer or tablet time engages the students who prefer a screen over a piece of paper. Even if the lesson is the same as it would be without the screen, students tend to show more excitement and engagement as they click answers. ]]> 2020-09-20 18:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762217024 katehasko https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762228762 Having an interactive word wall where the students help attatch the high-frequency words makes learning the spelling patterns easier. Incorporating easier words as well as more challenging ones creates a space where learners of all levels can thrive. ]]> 2020-09-20 18:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762228762 katehasko https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762238887 Silent E is a very tricky concept for students to learn. Having a scramble activity and possibly incorporating cardboard letters for a more kinesthetic approach makes this concept a bit more enjoable. ]]> 2020-09-20 18:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762238887 katehasko https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762249416 The level of engagement in a classroom when the teacher incorporates fun and games is incredible. Using activities like this one can encourage collaboration, depp thinking, and will remind the students of how fun phonics can be. Not to mention, this is a great way for ELL students to mingle with their English speaking only peers. ]]> 2020-09-20 18:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762249416 katehasko https://padlet.com/katehasko/4kncnfsnbi6v68os/wish/762267781 This is a more interactive approach to understanding the CVC pattern.
