You Are My Sunshine...

...my only sunshine!

This week we continued to work on the Learning Targets, "I can spell simple words" and "I can rhyme words."  The students had fun listening to various Dr. Seuss books for read alouds and picking out the rhyming words!  After that we took a bit of time and worked on creating some word families together on the board.  I "starred" some of the words to highlight that they were "nonsense" words.  However, I was happy that the kids were understanding how to change the beginning sound to start rhyming words.  

After some practice together, each of the kids created their own Sunshine Word Family with rhyming words on the rays of the sun!  They were pretty proud of their finished products!
