Substituting initial sounds is a pretty sophisticated #phonemicawareness skill! We practice this skill in #kindergarten everyday during #morningmeeting with days, months, and even students’ names. Phoneme substitution ultimately helps #readers with flexibility: the ability to use parts of words they know to solve new words.

As a coach you have to make tough decisions. When your daughter is one of your players it adds a whole new level of emotion. My middle daughter and I are so much alike… #coaching her the last two years has been a lesson in patience, understanding, and life lessons, but in the end we are are on the same team- at school and at home- and that’s all that matters. ♥️🏀 #basketball #coach #dad #girldad #teacher #kindergartenteacher #teachersidehustle #girlsbasketball - - #kindergarten, #kindergartenteacher, #teacherlife, #teachersofinstagram, #teachersfollowteachers, #teacher, #kindergartengiant, #studentengagement, #classroommanagement, #holidayseason, #teachersidehustle, #morningmeeting, #basketball, #coach, #kindergartenlife, #literacy, #teacherselfcare, #classroom, #teacherpreneur, #googleslides, #christmas, #students, #coachlife, #coaching, #basketballcoach, #reading, #dadlife, #winterbreak, #cheerdad, #girlsbasketball
