Exciting Long I Vowel Lesson Kick-Off

🌈 Welcome to Our Long I Vowel Adventure! 🌈

Introduction

Good morning, little explorers! Are you ready to dive into an exciting world where letters make magical sounds? Today, we’re going on a special adventure to discover the Long I vowel sound!

📖 Story Time: "Ivy the Nice Ice Cream"

To start our lesson, let’s gather in a cozy circle and listen to a delightful story about a character named Ivy, who loves to create nice and big ice creams for everyone in the neighborhood.

Story Highlights:

• Ivy, the ice cream maker, has a talent for making the nicest ice cream in town.
• One sunny day, she decides to make a pink ice cream with sprinkles for her friend.
• But wait! She needs to find the perfect bike to deliver it!

🛴 Interactive Story Engagement

As we read, I’ll pause after each page and ask you to help me say the Long I words together! Ready? Let’s listen for words with the Long I sound like "Ivy," "ice," and "bike"! When you hear one, raise your hand and shout, “I hear the Long I!”

🎨 Creative Activity: Ivy’s Ice Cream Creation

After our story, we’re going to become ice cream makers like Ivy! You’ll get to draw your own ice cream cone with a big scoop on top. But here’s the catch: you must use at least three Long I words to label your ice cream!

• What flavor will it be? How about a lavender or watermelon ice cream?
• Don’t forget to use the words like “nice,” “big,” and “light” when you tell your friends about your creation!

🌟 Conclusion

After our drawing activity, we’ll have a little ice cream party (pretend, of course!) where we can share what we made and practice saying our Long I words together!

Let’s get ready to have some fun and learn all about the magic of the Long I vowel! 🎉
