Crossing a Finish Line

1/28/16

Today was a fairly normal day for us, but I  wanted to mention something exciting - E completed All About Spelling Level 1!!! He could spell most of the 170 words a long time ago, but we did the work to reinforce the key rules. 

Here he is learning about open and closed syllables. We learned open syllables usually have a long vowel

Sound, and closed syllables have a short sound. We did learn two exceptions - a and the. They can go either way.
