Mrs. Bradley's Grade 2
Over the last few weeks we have been learning about digraphs which are 2 letters that work together to make one sound. We have been "Word Detectives" searching through the books in our classroom to find examples of TH and CH words. On Monday, we read "Sheep in a Jeep" by Nancy E. Shaw and had to listen for examples of SH words. There is a series of the Sheep books and they all have great examples of digraphs in them. If you have any of these books at home, ask your child to be a "Word Detective" and search for the SH words. After finding 8 SH words, students were challenged to create a worksheet for one of their classmates. Using graph paper, they had to create "Word Frame" for each of the words. A word frame is where a box represents the letter and students have to figure out what letter goes in the box based on it's shape. ![]() Students had to take their time to make sure their boxes were the right shape for the letter. "Tall" letters such as h, t, l, and f needed a rectangle. "Small" letters such as s, o, a, and r needed a perfect square. "Basement" letters such as p and y needed a rectangle that went below the other letters. Students were so focussed on their word frames that you could hear a pin drop in our classroom! *Mrs. Bradley also thought this was important because students had to form their letters properly for them to fit in the box. A little bonus printing practice!
