Lots of Spots

So Jupiter class is working on their Short O sounds this month. Part of their homework was to memorize one of the Short O books that we are reading in class. This was assigned by the principal (not myself seeing as I don't think it's necessary that children of five memorize books) but needless to say, it was pretty dang adorable. They each had to "present" their book to the class on Friday. I couldn't be happier with how they did. I graded on accuracy, pronunciation, eye contact, and voice expression - each child did a fantastic job! After everyone presented, I decided to capture some of the performances on video. This is one of our favorite kids reciting Lots of Spots. He is much more relaxed, knowing he is not being graded on this performance, so his pronunciation is a little off which makes it super cute. (I've included the actual words since he is a little hard to understand to the untrained ear)

Lots of Spots

Moppy has a spot.
Floppy has a few spots.
Dottie has lots of spots.
Moppy and Floppy want more spots.
Dottie dips a mop in paint.

Plop, plop, plop.
Dottie drops spots on top of Floppy .
Plop, plop, plop.
Now Moppy and Floppy have lots of spots!
