Making words with "oa" and "ow"

Hey Parents! Have you ever seen such cute letters?!?!? We used our long o vowel rules to build words last week. That cute "o" is MacKenzie, our new student. The precious "w" is Bailey--she came before Christmas. We are so glad to have these new friends in our classroom!!

We are reviewing the rule: "When 2 vowels go walking, the first one does the talking!" That is why Chante' has her finger over her lip...she is silent! When 2 vowels are together, the first vowel says its LETTER NAME, not the sound!

We tested the "walking vowels rule..." Way to go, first graders!
