Long e, please!

Happy Monday everyone!  This week we will be reading, writing, and spelling long e words.  Some of our spelling words look like this:

me-he-we

see-tree

feet-week

I created some powerpoints to help our firsties work with these words.  If you would like to use them to help your student review the words I have posted them below.  Click on the words underneath the picture.  You will have to download it.  I have a quick tutorial at the bottom of the post, just in case Powerpoint is new to you :)

Hope you find them helpful.

iPads for all!

Yellow Monkeys and Blue Gibbons have been enjoying the use of the iPads for a few weeks.  Their stories are turning out great!  I can't wait to see all the finished products!  Our Green Chimps started exploring "Scribble Press" on the iPads yesterday!  The app looks like this.  It is a great writing tool!

Our Green Chimps spent yesterday practicing how to write and draw on the iPad app.  They learned how to get markers, erase, and use the keyboard.  They were so engaged and excited.  You could have heard a pin drop :)  Here are a few pictures to enjoy:

I look forward to sharing their stories with you soon!
