O-o is for octopus

This week at 4 stars we looked at O.  O is a vowel which has a long and a short sound.

This time we are focusing on the short 'o' as in octopus and ostrich.

Knowing this sound will help in reading and writing when trying to sound out words.

We listened to an octopus story and made our own octopus. We made sure we had 8 legs on our octopus because we learnt that oct means 8 - an octagon has 8 sides!

Cooper joined us today and explored our classroom. He enjoyed our Dora Alphabet cards!
