Lots of learning happening in Ms. Olazaba’s class last week!
During small-group instruction, students practiced saying and writing vowels, along with writing their last names. They also used Elkonin boxes to stretch out sounds and write one-syllable words.
Students worked on orally identifying the beginning, middle, and end of a story before putting their ideas into writing. They also practiced segmenting and blending words aloud with a partner.
So many important early literacy skills being built through purposeful practice!
