Since my kiddos are still referencing to the pretty ‘lil cheerleaders I introduced last week for ai and ay words; I knew I needed to create more vowel team friends to help with our oa and ow sound this week. So,… our g{oa}lies were created!
These two g{oa}lies have been visiting us all week to sh{ow} us the long sound for oa and ow.
You can download the templates to create the vowel team goalies here.
OW is tricky y’all. Sometimes it makes the sound /ow/ as in cl/ow/n. After sorting ow words on the board, the kiddos had to create a picture with a goal and code their ow and oa words.
If the word makes the long o sound then they glued it inside their goal. If not, then they glued it outside the goal.
You can download the words for the sort here.
Tomorrow, we will extend our learning by taking things outside (fingers crossed for pretty weather) and use a real soccer ball! Check back to see what we do!

I’m off to get a few hours of sleep in. I’ve got one sick baby in the house with RSV so sleep is few and far between!
