Today, Mrs. Hendricks and Mrs. Trotter stopped by Mrs. Corwin’s first-grade class for a fun and interactive game of Boom Boom, Clap! The students have been hard at work learning about vowels and all the important jobs they do in words. During the game, students had to listen carefully to a spoken word, then grab the correct vowel that matched. It was a lively and engaging way to practice their vowel skills—and everyone had a blast! Great job, first graders!
