Aha Moments

This morning for skills block I introduced the "Sneaky e" to my little ones. We practiced reading CVC words (not) and then added and e to them (note) to make a new word. They used their sneaky e police car pointers to catch the sneaky e at the end of words with a partner.

While I was walking around and working with different partners, one of my students (with a lot of excitement) said that he had something very important to tell the class. We stopped what we were doing and put our eyes on our little friend to hear his announcement. He said, "Hey, I just realized something. Did you know that my name has a sneaky e on the end? The sneaky e makes the a say it's name."

Wow!! I almost started crying! I love when my little ones have an Aha moment and feel the need to share it with the rest of the class. It's moments like this that make me realize even more that I truly love what I do!

Sometimes I am just so amazed at all of the information a little 5 year old can retain so quickly. Have you had any Aha moments lately in your class? Please leave a comment and share! Thank you!
