2day we read Wumbers as we continued our author study of Amy Krouse Rosenthal. Wumbers is both a book and game that has words cre8ed with numbers. We reviewed vocabulary words: orn8, el8ed, overinfl8ed, bel8ed. Students shared connections about each vocabulary word. Before we jumped in2 reading, we discussed the sounds of the numbers and how 2 read them within the wumbers. Students had a 1derful time reading 2gether and paying a10tion to the wumbers on each page. After we read, students cr8ed lists of as many wumbers they could think of. We realized a lot of wumbers that contain 8's and 10's are rel8ed by how they sound. We all had a 1derful time and will not soon 4get Wumbers!
