Today we completed our unit on the letter Oo with a reading comprehension and sequencing activity starring Oh Oh the Octopus. The students used their Oh Oh hand puppets and practiced short and long Oo sounds. Once we read our story about Oh Oh and his friends the otter, ostrich, ox, and owl, we organized pictures of the story events in the correct sequence. The kids did a great job, especially considering the task was time consuming and required their best listening and comprehension skills.

We also began our new unit on the letter Gg. We practiced making the hard Gg sound by gargling, grring like a bear, and starting our motorcycle engines with the repeated Ggggggg sound. We read Gobble, Gobble Crash! A Barnyard Counting Bash and enjoyed some time on the green, green grass and the ground before going home.
