Week 2: Letter V

So a few of them I turned upside-down to make the "v" a little more obvious... :)

The Letter V...

is our week 2 theme. A little strange, huh? Well, we thought it was one of the obscure letters & would prove to be more of a hunt. 

The letter "V" makes me think: vibrant, vivacious, and vivid. During writing, I'm always telling my students to use VIVID details in their pieces. The letter reminds me of the 5 natural senses: touch, taste, hear, see, and smell. Those small details that we never really notice... much like the letter itself. It's colorful, textured, loud (vroom of a speeding car), and angular. It's also the peace symbol that many people (particularly famous celebrities) overuse or the silly bunny ears that kids use while taking a picture. And sometimes so dang annoying when making up elementary alphabet words... V is for volcano, vegetable, vest or van. I will steer clear of Venus, Vendetta or other suggestive monologues**. :) Pictures to follow...
