Homophones

STOP the presses. Two posts in a row?!?! I must be really excited about my current units we are studying!  Last week my kids learned ALL about homophones with my I Ate  Eight Pieces of Cake!

Homophones cane be hard for 2nd graders because they think they are finally getting a grasp on phonics. Then you throw the "woah, woah-there's two ways to spell that word!" at them.  SAY WHAT??? I know kids, it's just not fair!

 I made this chart last year because I knew my kids would need a visual reference.  I made it into a poster size for our room.

I also made copies of the smaller version for their binders.

If you follow me on instagram, you know I have fallen in love with Amazon Prime.  Rachelle informed me that I am WAY that to this party.  Anywho, I ordered three or four homophone books, but this is definitely my favorite!

We also do a TON of sentence examples in our reading notebooks!

I LOVE how this little girl told me "I am going to be a teacher." And let me tell y'all- she will make one fabulous teacher!

We also made several flip-flap books to work on commonly mistaken homophones {Don't mind my picture of my Spark- I was feeling quite tired haha}

I knew I needed something cute to finish out the unit and that's not always my thing so I texted Amy and not 2 hours later she sent me this guy! HA! I love it and I SUPER love having talented friends!

These cuties were SO proud of their homophone stories!

I hope you enjoyed catching up with us!
