On Friday, we reviewed words that include -ar and -or. The students participated in a "Popcorn Word" activity. They were required to write "-or" words on each piece of popcorn. After writing the word, they then had to underline the -or in each word.

February 2: Groundhogs Day
Thursday, February 2 was Groundhogs Day. The groundhog saw his shadow so that means there will be six more weeks of winter. We learned a lot of different things about groundhogs. We learned the following: they are rodents, they live in burrows, their burrows can be up to 5 feet deep, they whistle when they see danger, and they hibernate during the winter. After learning about groundhogs, the students participated in a directed drawing. They did a great job!

Blends and R-Controlled Vowels
We started a new phonics unit. During the next three weeks, we will be focusing on blends and r-controlled vowels. Blends are consonants that go together to make two separate sounds. For example, in the word "stop" the blend is the letters "s" and "t." We also learned about r-controlled vowels. We learned that if the letter "r" comes after a vowel, the vowel sound changes. We learned about -ar and -or this week. We made pirate hats in order to remember that when we see -ar in a word that we sound like a pirate!
