Using the Tools

Jose was practicing his parts of speech with a grammar activity today.  He had to color words by whether they were nouns, verbs or adjectives.  Jose had no problem deciding what part of speech the words were, but first there were a few words that he had trouble sounding out.  He grabbed a scrap piece of paper and began fish hooking the words into syllables to decode what the vowels would say in each word.  I watched as he carefully wrote, fish hooked, pounded and sounded out each word with confidence.  His eyes lit up when he read each word and then he happily colored it the appropriate color!  Way to go Jose for using your tools to figure out hard words!!
