🐴☀️ Mustang Minute is here! ☀️🐴

Our first Mustang Minute focuses on RHYMING! 🎉

Rhyming words are words that have the same ending sounds. For example:
🧦 sock & clock
🚪 door & floor
🪑 chair & bear
🛏️ bed & red

This week, challenge your child to become a “rhyme detective” around the house or neighborhood! See how many rhyming words they can find while playing, riding in the car, walking outside, or helping at home. 🚗🏡🌳

Rhyming helps young readers hear sounds in words, which is an important early reading skill for our K–2 Mustangs! 💙📚

Be sure to watch today’s Mustang Minute video and join the rhyming fun!

📣 Introducing Mustang Minute! 🐴☀️

This summer, we’re bringing learning home in a fun and easy way for our K–2 Mustangs! Beginning this week, every Tuesday and Thursday we’ll share a quick “Mustang Minute” video featuring one of our amazing teachers introducing a simple phonics activity families can do together at home. 📚✨

Each video is only a minute(ish) long, making it easy to fit learning into your summer schedule while helping our young readers keep their skills sharp and growing! 💙

Be sure to follow along all summer long and join us for some quick, engaging learning fun!
