Phonics: The Vowel Valley
The mouth position when producing vowel sounds goes from a small opening to a large opening then back to a small opening. This is referred to as a Vowel Valley. Vowel sounds where the tongue is high and at the front of the mouth move to the vowels where the tongue is low in the middle, and finally to the vowels where the tongue is high and at the back. This picture shows our classroom Vowel Valley sound wall.

Long vowel sounds are made from mouth muscles that are more tense and tight. Short vowel sounds are made from mouth muscles that are more relaxed and loose.
**We will also practice making letters with straight and slanted lines:
K, M, N

Handwriting: ez Across

The kids will not have Phy Ed today. We are going to the pepfest in the high school during this time...It's going to be exciting, loud, and fun!
