The wind has picked up in this last hour as I write to you all. I am glad that we will be all safe in our homes today as tropical storm Isac passes by. I have been watching the weather channel with Grace and have found it all fascinating how a hurricane develops and travels, and most importantly, how to keep safe. A great website I found that you might like to visit is: http://www.weatherwizkids.com/weather-hurricane.htm to give you more information about hurricanes.
Today we were going to talk about the short "i and "a" vowel sounds and brainstorm words that have the short "i" and/or "a" in them.
This week's spelling words (which will be quizzed on Friday) includes words with the short "i" and "a" in them. They are: picnic, plastic, rabbit, fabric, napkin, Spanish, giggle, candid, zigzag, and habitat. You can read these and then write them as rainbow words on a piece of paper. Rainbow words are words written in three different colors, You can also go to the website http://www.spellingcity.com and select "Find a List." Type my name Omullane. Then, select the unit and week that we are working on. Have fun completing one of the free activities online to help you practice your spelling words.
I also would like you to read at home and watch the weather outside. If you like, write a poem or narrative about what is going on outside your home and how you feel.
Warmest wishes and I will see you on Tuesday.
Ms. O'Mullane
