We have had a very busy and very productive start back to school after our winter break. We have started learning the differences between long and short vowels. We have also been working on the difference between a hard /g/ sound and a soft /g/ sound (example: g in gem is a soft g and g in go is a hard g). We use a song from a blog called First Grade W.O.W. to help us learn about the hard and soft g sounds. I have included a picture of the song below. For copyright and credit reasons I am also including the link to that blog (http://firstgradewow.blogspot.com/2013/12/new-year-2014.html)
Below are some videos that we have used in class:
