We did manage to get a few things covered between snow storms this week. We discovered how knowing the word "it" can help us read and spell lots of other words - like bit, kit, sit, hit, fit, lit, nit, pit, quit. We also looked at how two letters "blend" together at the start of words with the little word "it" hiding inside - spit, skit. Here is the link to the "it" video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmr8WrYbUNI&playnext=1&list=PLCBFFAAA3E68... and to an "it" word family "book": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lJnm1wiepc&playnext=1&list=PLC6F6137994A... Your child may want to write "it" words on an magna doodle or a wipe-off board. The children think it is cool that you can change one letter and have a whole new word! We continued counting to 100 with these videos, some have an exercise twist to them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9-pEVaO4pM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4rhzjD5ohw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGKXZVxAffM
