Hot Dog Day - Short O

When our phonics focus was "short o", we practiced this sound by reading the poem "Hot Dogs." The students also sorted words in various "short o" word families such as /op/, /og/, and /ot/. To help them remember the "short o" sound, we had a special "Hot Dog Day." The students dressed up in red for ketchup or yellow for mustard. We even had a few white and purple onions in the mix. Some classes had students dress in green like relish. The students created hot dog hats on which they wrote /ot/ and /og/ words. They were then treated to a special hot dog snack at the end of the day. Thank you to the parents who provided hotdogs for the special treat. Click below to enjoy a quick slideshow of our fun day!
