Seasons of the Year

A season is a division of the year, marked by changes in weather, ecology, and hours of daylight.
Seasons result from the yearly revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of revolution.^[1] In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, variations of which may cause animals to go into hibernation or to migrate, and plants to be dormant.

Third Grade puppet Show

Not only  my third graders love creating their own sock characters using a variety of craft supplies, they had  lots of  fun  doing the Puppet Show. Besides this was a great way to use up any orphaned socks they had laying around and help the environment by recycling.

Materials Needed:

• Sock
• Miscellaneous Craft Supplies (see the list below)
• Craft Glue
• Scissors

Instructions:
For this craft, simply provide a sock and a variety of what ever craft supplies you might have on hand. Give your child some glue and let them go to town creating whatever kind of puppet character they like!
Some ideas for craft supplies to use are yarn, buttons, pom-poms, chenille stems, ribbon, felt, feathers, craft foam, and beads. You can also use markers or fabric paint.

Vowels ( a e i o u)

The vowels are "a, e, i, o, u and sometimes letters "w" and "y".
Short vowels ------ When there is a single vowel in a short word or
syllable, the vowel usually makes a short sound. These short vowels usually
appear at the beginning of the word or between two consonants. Examples
of short vowels are found in these words: c a t , e n d, p i g, l o g, b u s


Long Vowels 1------ When a short word or syllable ends with a
vowel-consonant -e combination (a-k-e), the vowel is usually long and the
"e" at the end of the word is silent (this rule does not apply in all cases).
Examples of a vowel - consonant --e combination are: bake, ride, pole,
tune.


Long Vowels 2------ When a word or syllable has a single vowel and the
vowel appears at the end of the word or syllable, the vowel usually makes
the long sound. Examples are: no  he  go    Phonicsworld.com go to long vowels
