Learning with Letters & Sounds

First, I will introduce to students that we will be using Chromebooks today during small group stations for ELA. Students will rotate throughout the groups. Students in the Chromebook station will long into their Letterland account. Students will go to the home page and will be allowed to practice whichever skills they would like. Students will be allowed to review letters, characters, and sounds. Students may move on to digraphs and blends. Students will review sentence structure and cvc words.

The remaining groups will be working on various ELA skills. My station will work one on one with me. We will be building words by using our inventive spelling techniques. After this, we will try to write the words in our journals. We will draw pictures to match our spelling. (ex: spells cat, draws a cat)
The last group will be working with our aid, Mrs. Gladys. These students will be matching upper and lowercase letters through a block activity. This allows for some movement and hands-on techniques. Students will have to find the matching upper and lowercase letter or their blocks will not click together. Once they find the match, they will say the sound that the letter makes and tell Mrs. Gladys 3 words that begin with that letter.

In closing, we will clean up our station supplies and meet on our class carpet. Students will tell what they did in their group and will tell which group they enjoyed the most out of the 3. Students will answer questions about the letters and sounds that they reviewed.
