A Relaxing Weekend...and some VOWEL TEAMS!

As another weekend comes to a close, I am feeling grateful for a little downtime.  I read my book, took a nap (sigh!), and went to see The Lorax!  The hubby and I loved it...our little girl on the other hand was afraid of the Once-ler:(  The bright side:  She cuddled on my lap during the whole movie!

Last week was a whirlwind with conferences, report cards, and meetings.  I was only in my room two and a half days!  I'm looking forward to a "normal" week this week...whatever that means!  That is, until Wednesday comes along.  I have 18 parent-teacher conferences back to back from 4:00-8:30.  Wish me luck!

As I head into the classroom tomorrow,  I wanted to share a little something I've been working on for Vowel Teams.  I really wish I would have started this earlier in the school year...better late than never, right?!  We use the Treasures reading series. I started the list with Week 22.

The vowel teams and digraphs included are:
ui, ue, ew, oo, oe, aw, au, ow, ou, oi, a (with the "uh" sound as in alone and awake), gn, kn, wr, c (hard and soft), and g (hard and soft)

You will notice that the slides for ui, ue, ew, oo, oe have some words in a larger font than others. These are our spelling words, yet I wanted to include a few other examples of words I know the kids commonly misspell as well.

I'll have to back track to create posters for the sounds already covered this year at some point!

Have a great week!

Fluency Poster...AGAIN! A little better this time around:)

Download the display images {HERE}!

So...I created my Fluency Poster last week, printed it...and didn't like it:(  It was too small!  So, I decided to create larger images of each component of the poster.  I printed these in color, trimmed around the edge of the border, mounted each one on black cardstock, and then trimmed the edges again, leaving a decorative edge around the image.  They're sitting at school waiting to be laminated!  The image on the "mood" poster is a stock photo, so it has the little watermark image on it.  It is so faint you can barely see it when you print it out.  I'll post pictures of the display once it's complete!
