A Celestial Event ☀️
Today Mrs.Unruh's 1st grade class celebrated National Schwa Day!!! Schwa is the most commonly used unstressed vowel sound found in multiple syllable words!! Students wore pajamas and sunglasses, read about the Schwa sound, and did various learning activities. Finally, they finished the day off with a movie and snacks that make the sound. What a wonderful day of learning!!
