Over the past several days, the girls were introduced the digraphs, "sh" and "ch". Today we brainstormed some th and wh words as a class, then the girls went back to their seats to write several words on their own. The girls partnered up and completed a digraph worksheet together. We will continue to focus on all the digraphs we have learned (th, sh, ch, wh) in our word study period.
We also discussed the difference between hibernation and torpor. The girls took full opportunity to put their acting skills on display as we played charades. The class had to decide what the animal was and if it went into hibernation or torpor. Be sure to ask your daughter which animal she portrayed.
