Throughout the week our schedule switches between reading workshop and word work. This morning was word work. During word work friends transition between four stations that currently are focusing on the letters and sounds of the alphabet. The first station involved friends solving puzzles and then putting them in alphabetical order. The second station, with Mrs. Keller, had friends identifying a lowercase letter, making the sound of the letter and then finding the uppercase version on the sun rug.
The third station today was reading, with Mrs. Bahr, out of our book boxes. The fourth station, with me, was focusing on introducing a new lowercase letter - i.
Above our classroom library are all of the other letters I have introduced so far... b, f, t, m and n. You may hear friends say the letter name, then the name of the picture and then the sound for example.
b - bat - /b/ or i - itch - /i/ or f - fun - /f/
We do this to help friends remember and associate the letter and sound with an image.
You may also hear friends talk about the different lines on the page. First there is the sky line, then the plane line, next is the grass line and finally (my favorite) is the worm line. Naming the lines helps friends learn how to write the letters with fluency.

Hope you are enjoying this gorgeous sunny day!
I wish you well!
