Then we learned all about digraph ck. A digraph is two letters that come together to make one sound. Digraph ck comes AFTER short vowels, like in the words duck, stack, pick, flock. Hopefully knowing the rule will really help us pay attention to our spelling.
We also worked on double final consonants. This takes PRACTICE!!
To help with these new skills, I have gathered some links that reinforce what we did today in reading class:

After lunch, we took our first ever fact practice page!! We are working hard on doubles. If we can memorize these, we have a great base for the other facts in first grade.
Singing this rap at home will help!
Every day we will do fact practice sheets. The goal is memorizing. And sometimes that takes lots of practice.
At the end of the day, we sat down and talked about the tent church. What is it? Why did the Israelites build one? How was it similar to our church? How is it different?
Tonight, just math homework. Ask to see the fact practice! It's pretty awesome!
Have a blessed night!
