Syllables~ Word Parts

This week we have practiced syllables.  We started by discussing that syllables or word parts are the "chunks" of a word. When we are trying to spell a long word we can "break" it into these part to help us hear each sound.   When we are reading we can use the same strategy to decode the word. We have been counting the syllables is EVERYTHING this week.  

Our Friday graphing lesson was so fun.  We graphed the syllables in our names.  Each student cameup and   clapped the syllables for their name and then the whole class would clap.  We put dots under the word parts and then placed it on our graph!
