In Language Arts, we have been working with antonyms, synonyms and homophones. We did a lot of fun excercises on the SmartBoard to practice these concepts. I have listed some websites below to practice these skills below. We also read a great book together called Tops & Bottoms in which we learned about antonyms and other new vocabulary.

In Phonics, we have been practicing reading, writing and spelling with words that have l blends and s blends. We also have been reading words that end in y. Y is a tricky letter. It is sometimes considered a vowel. This week we called it the chameleon letter or Tricky Y the Robber Guy because it takes or steals the sound of 'i' like in try or 'e' like in the word funny.
