Today the Pilots worked in pairs of 2 at stations, where they practiced and reviewed many skills.

Group #1 wrote letters to a friend or family member. They had to include the word DEAR at the beginning of their letter. Take a look at the first picture where this letter begins: Dear Harrison, Sorry we didn't..." (Obviously this was a letter of apology.) Another boy wrote a letter to his mom, telling him how much he loved her. The students could decorate their letters when the writing was complete.

Group #2 took turns creating words in the /UT/ family with magnets. After a new word was created, each student had to write down this word on their dry erase board. Many new and fun words were created! Take a peak at the second and third pictures for an example of this.

Group #3 practiced filling-in-the-blank in these 2 sample sentences with Go Fish: "I see a (blank)." and "This is a (blank)." Take a peak at the video here of the student reading his sample sentence.

Each group was able to rotate to each station once- we had a lot of fun!! Keep up the great work, Pilots!
