This week I taught a lesson about blends. I decided to make a large blender on posterboard as a visual for my kids. I printed out various blends, laminated them, and put them on the blender with velcro dots. I really wish I would've made this at the beginning of the year and added individual blends as they came up, but now I'll have it for next year. First, I reviewed what a blend is. (We use a program called Secret Stories. It is AMAZING! If you've never heard of the program you should really check it out. It's kind of pricey, but you could write a grant to get it. Check it out:
Secret Stories.) Then, we went over the sounds of each blend and added it to the blender. To practice identifying blends, students were then given a recording sheet and their reading book and went to a quiet place in the room to write down any words they found that began with blends. I've done a few of these "book searches" lately for different skills and I've never had such a quiet classroom-- they're so involved and intent on finding as many words as they can. *Some of my kids were calling the blends 'blenders' today... they make me smile!
To make the blender I just found a clip art online and made it big in a Word document. Then I taped my posterboard up to the Promethean Board and traced the lines being projected. (I guess that's a little tricky if you don't have a board like that!)
(I realized after I had this all made that I am still missing some blends,
but I'll just add them next year as they come up.)
