Our Learning

The students have asked that I share one of their favourite videos with parents on the blog! The following video explains syllables in a kid-friendly way. Syllables are an element of phonemic awareness (the ability to hear and manipulate phonemes-or units of sounds). Our class has been working on a variety of phonemic awareness skills such as rhyming, distinguishing the beginning and ending sounds of words, segmenting a sentence, and syllables. These skills are all important building blocks in reading and spelling success.

You can find the video on syllables HERE.

Here are some pictures from last week of our writing about Pink Shirt Day and new center activities.
