Last week and this week, we have been working on the /ow/ as in cow and /ou/ as in ouch sounds. Fun...huh? Yes, I think so!
This morning, I got out some band-aids and wrote 'ou' on all of them. Since we focused on the /ow/ sound last week and quickly talked about the /ou/ sound, my kiddos knew exactly what to expect today, and they read the /ou/ words like super stars! Wearing the band-aids were just a fun little touch to our learing.
Can I say that the Color Run was Fan-tas-tic!!!! It was so much fun. Partly because I was in great company.
This was me before. I'm all nice and clean!
This is me after. I was very colorful! Can you see the excitement on my face?!!
This is my best teacher friend. She's the one who talked me into doing the Color Run! I'm so glad I let her talk me into it.
This is the whole group of "Dashing Darling's".
The colorful socks made it even better. My best teacher friend and I have on the wild zebra socks.
We definitely want to do it again!
There are some amazing giveaways going on by some of the sweetest bloggers I've "met". Click on the pictures to check each one out.
Love the "ou" bandaids. What a great way to get them to remember the sound!! :) Thanks for sharing!

DeleteOh your color run does look like it was loads of fun:) I love the idea of writing on the bandaids and having the kids wear them all day. What a great way to have the lesson stick.

I just found your blog through First Grade Fairytales giveaway. I love the bandaid idea. It's amazing how something so simple can help students remember. I've never done the Color Run but I'm signed up for the Electric Run this summer. You should check it out. Like the Color Run but, at night.
