|
Grade 4: vowel pairs ai, ay;
diphthongs oi oy
|
Grade 5: syllables
|
|
Tip:
-
Vowel pairs ai and ay make the /a/
sound you hear in waist and fray.
-
Diphthongs are different form vowel
pairs in that the two vowels blend together to make one sound.
- The diphthongs oi
and oy make the /oi/ sound you hear in voices and employ.
|
Tip:
-
When a single consonant come between
two vowels in a word, the word is usually divided after the consonant if the
first vowel is short, and before the consonant if the vowel is long.
-
Short first vowel: mod-ern
-
Long first vowel: ma-jor
-
There are exceptions to the rule, as
in wa-ter.
- Divide the compound
word into two words before dividing it into syllables.

We discussed chapters 15 - 17 of Ghosts in the Churchyard and read chapter 18 as a class. The students are starting to discover the William has a special connection with animals.
Unit of Inquiry:
Today the grade 4s learned about crime and punishment in the middle ages. The grade 4s came to understand that the laws and sentencing during the Middle Ages were not always fair and just. They also agreed that the our current justice system is much more acceptable than they system that was set in place during the Middle Ages. 
After our cut and paste activity, we went over to Mrs. DiMascio's classroom to watch an educational video about armour and weapons. We will be having a quiz about armour and knights on Wednesday, February 27th.
