Short and Long Vowels and Sneaky e

 

We learned how to code short vowels and long vowels today.  Short vowels get a breve.  It looks like a smiley face.  That's because the vowel is happy it's making it's first sound.  Long vowels get a macron.  It looks like a minus sign.  It means it will say it's name.  We got to eat grapes for working hard on our phonics!  Grape has a long a, and a sneaky e at the end.
