🔤✨ Our 2nd graders explored the magic of the silent e during UFLI word work today! By adding an e to the end of words, they discovered how a short vowel sound transforms into a long vowel sound — like turning cap into cape. They practiced building, reading, and writing these words to strengthen their phonics and spelling skills.
