Schwa Day fun! Columbia Elementary celebrated National Schwa Day with a pajama day and schwa activities!
What is the schwa sound? It‘s a day to recognize and appreciate that schwa is a unique aspect of the pronunciation of some vowels in English. The schwa sound “uh” is found in an unstressed syllable. For example, the word "lemon" has a schwa sound ("uh") for the letter "o," so it is pronounced "lem-uhn." In the word April, the “i” says “uh,” and in the word eleven, the 2nd “e” says “uh.
Since the schwa sound is always found in an unstressed syllable, we wore pajamas and were "unstressed" for the day, too!
The teachers enjoyed some "lemon" snacks, and the students learned about schwa with some activities, including this YouTube video of a read-aloud of the book "The Not-So-Lazy Schwa" by the author, Yvette Manns.
The Scholastic Book Fair has been here all week, with shopping times on Monday Apr 15 as well. Join us for Grandparent's Night on April 16th from 5:30-7 pm. Lots of fun books to choose from! Hope to see you there!
