✨✍️ Phonics Focus in Ms. Muse’s Class!

Our learners practiced the two sounds that “th” can make:
🔹 Voiceless /th/ as in think, thin, bath
🔹 Voiced /th/ as in this, that, them

By writing, saying, and using these sounds in words, learners are strengthening their phonics skills and building a strong foundation for reading fluency. 🌟📚

🐾 Mrs. Lee's Class - Animal Fun! 🐾

Today, Mrs. Lee's learners enjoyed an exciting animal-themed activity! After reading books about animals, they each drew their favorite animal and then identified the beginning sound of their animal. It’s always amazing to see how much fun our learners have while mastering new skills!
