DD made her lunch today, as she usually does. Today, she opted for an oatmeal sandwich: one piece of wheat bread generously covered in dry oatmeal. I tried to gently discourage her from eating this creation, but she not only ate it, but pronounced it "great" and invited me to make my own oatmeal sandwich. I politely declined and boiled myself an egg.
We introduced the concept of long vowel sounds today by making our own silent e. I sketched a large e on a piece of black construction paper, gave her some glue, construction paper and plenty of puffy paint. She had a ball. She was very excited about her creation. Best of all, when we began working with the long A sound, she had very little difficulty picking it up. Any time she ran into a problem, I just showed her her very own silent e and she was able to sound out the word correctly. Great! Or should I say Grate!
