{Oi}nks, cowb{oy}s, poetry and Earth Day!

Hi friends! We have been super busy this week…and it’s only Tuesday! We have our STAAR testing this week, which I will be administering… so I want to make sure that I am getting everything done this week!!

Here’s a little peek at a few things we’ve been up to.

We always start our mornings off with our phonics skill for the week, and this week has been oi and oy. We made these little {oink} hats for our oi sound.

and these cowboy hats for our oy sound…

You can click {here} and {here} to get the hat templates!

Since this month is all about poetry and Earth day…we summarized a book about this little hairy orange guy who tends to be rather bossy when it comes to saving a silly forest. I am sure you know the exact book I am referring to!! Anywho, we made these 5W poems to summarize the book. I let the kiddos pick their character that they wanted to write their poem about.

The Lorax {who}

was in charge of trees {did what}

a long time ago {when}

in the forest {where}

to help the Earth {why}
