Happy Monday!

Happy Monday Fantastic First Grade Families! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! This weather is absolutely crazy, so I hope you took advantage of it! Our classroom wardrobe today looked more like September, not December! We had kiddos wearing shorts and t-shirts! :)

This week in Spelling we are learning about OU and OW words. When O is next to a U or W, he pinches them! This makes them say, "OW!" or "OUCH!" Today we brainstormed words that have the OU and OW sound. Check out the picture below for our list so far! We will have ten OW and OU words on our Friday test:
Our
Out
About
Count
Proud
Cow
Now
How
Brown
Town

Please practice theses words at home with your child. We hear the SAME sound in each of these words, so it is VERY important we JUST KNOW if a word has OU or OW.
