This activity was student driven- We have been looking at letters/sounds and making words. In looking at words, we discuss word length, and number of vowels and consonants in each word. When discussing vowels, I have focused on the vowels: a, e, i, o and u. At a later date, I intended to discuss y and its ability to be a vowel or a consonant depending on its location in the word. Last week when looking at words, two students asked if the letter y is a vowel. Thus, the lesson below was used to introduce y (consonant or vowel) this week.

Additional Practice - using two color crayons, students colored all vowels one color, and all consonants a second color. Next, they counted the vowels in each word and wrote the number on each line.
Student example below - The first number of vowels was incorrect. After the first number all other answers were correct.
