The purpose of this learning experience is to engage students in an interactive and collaborative exploration of vowel teams, enhancing their spelling skills through creative projects and peer interaction. By designing games, contributing to a word bank, and participating in storytelling, students will deepen their understanding of vowel teams in a fun and meaningful context. This approach aims to build confidence and foster a supportive learning community where students actively share knowledge and celebrate each other's progress.

Students will identify and spell words containing vowel teams, enhancing their phonemic awareness and vocabulary. They will collaborate to create a word bank and engage in activities that categorize vowel team sounds. Through designing a board game and participating in storytelling, students will apply their spelling skills creatively and reflect on their learning progress.

Students will collaboratively create a vibrant mural or poster that showcases words with vowel teams, with each student designing a section that features a specific word and its definition. Additionally, they will develop a board game that incorporates spelling challenges, allowing them to apply their knowledge creatively. Finally, students will write and present short stories or poems using words with vowel teams, demonstrating their understanding and creativity in a storytelling circle.

Kick off the lesson with a lively 'Vowel Team Relay Race' where students form small teams and take turns racing to a whiteboard to correctly spell words with vowel teams. Each team member contributes by writing one letter at a time, promoting teamwork and quick thinking. This energetic activity sets the stage for the lesson, sparking excitement and engagement with the core content.

Students will present their collaborative mural or poster to their peers, explaining the words they chose and their significance. During the 'Vowel Team Storytelling Circle,' students will read their stories or poems aloud, highlighting their understanding and creative use of vowel teams. This exhibition will allow students to demonstrate their learning and creativity while receiving feedback from their peers.
