Making Words

Today we tried a new phonics activity called "Making Words". For this activity, we were given the letters - a, i, o, b, n, r, and w.

The first thing we did was come up with words that were one letter long. We found two!

Next, we used our whiteboards to come up with two letter words. Sometimes it was tricky because we kept trying to add extra letters, but we found 6-two letter words.

Three letter words came next, and we were able to find 12 of them!

Now it started to get a little harder, but we were still able to come up with 6-four letter words.

Five letter words were even harder, we only got four of those and we didn't fine ANY six letter words!

Last, we tried to figure out the "mystery word" by unscrambling the letters we were given and seeing if we could make one big word out of all seven letters. It took awhile and some clues from Mrs. Cossiboon, but finally we were able to figure out that our mystery word was:

RAINBOW!
