Sharks - They did better identifying the sound patterns this week. - Students also came up with some short i and u words of their own. - They loved working with the whiteboard to practice spelling. They wanted to come up with the words themselves. It made it more engaging for them.

Bears - Long vowels were too easy for these students. - They were able to brainstorm a ton of words with long a and i. - The book was a good take away to use at home as a reference. Students came up with more than four words.

Lions - NN had trouble distinguishing the differences in sound patterns (ag, eg, ig, og, ug). - Students were able to sort words into the right group once they saw the spelling of the word. It was harder with the sound.
