I Just Had to Share

My homophone lesson for my first graders tomorrow. I'm excited about it. :)

So, after defining homophones, I'm going to read a book called Dear Deer. Which is just adorable and has TONS of homophones in it. Such as "the moose ate eight bowls of mousse" and "the horse went hoarse" and lots of others. It's letters to Aunt Ant from her dear Deer. and it's adorable.

Anyway. . . after we talk about that, each table (there are six) will get a flash card with a homophone pair from the story on it. Basically it'll be like charades. Each table is going to get a minute to act out their pair and the rest of the kids have to guess what homophone pair they had. It's gonna be fun. :)

I hope it goes well.
