Our Word Study continues! Throughout the school year the 1st graders have practiced doing many different sorts with words that have short & long vowels, digraphs, & blends. They’ve used their iPads to share what they’ve learned about these sorts with their teachers and families.

The 1st graders have loved using their individual Wilson Boards this school year. The kids tap out words using their fingers, spell the words, & then “spell the words away”! A BIG THANK YOU to our parapros Mrs. Marek & Mrs. Ryan for making these boards for our kids to use!🤗👍🏻
