Letter Sounds

This week in room 10 we start each day working on blending and segmenting letter sounds.  The students are learning that each word is made of of sounds. They are starting to independently segment the sounds and put them together forming the word. We have learned that some words do not follow the rules, we call them "jail words". Today we discovered that the word "ball" is a jail word. We have also been practicing how to write a sentence.

Students in room 10 are very interested in inventions. We have been learning about the history of important inventions and where inventions come from. We discovered that inventions often come from nature. An example of this is velcro which was inspired from burs found in nature. Here is a list of some of the other ways inventions come about. 

We also learned that inventions can come from a problem that humans have to solve. The students brainstormed "kid problems" that they feel need to be solved. We then created photo types in our journals of our ideas.
