All I will say is that it has been a while! I have been super busy because I FINALLY got a more "permanent" job teaching first grade. Last year while teaching reading intervention I made these awesome PB&J vowel team posters. I explained to my second graders that some vowels go together like peanut butter and jelly. I even played the "Peanut Butter and Jelly Time" you tube video for them to dance to. I felt that this method to teaching vowel digraphs works! I would always display the poster of the week on my white board and then add it to the bulletin board.
Enjoy!
