What Rhymes with HEN?
LANGUAGE ARTS
Word Family -en Activity
here are some words my students came up with: ken, ben, pen, men, den, ten, "wen", zen, jen...
I found this picture on www.lucylearns.com then copied and pasted it on Word to make it a little bigger. I used the "text box" to add "__en" on the eggs. That's it; easy peasy!
Final product^^^
You could use this Hen instead. It is much nicer, maybe next time.
HELLO CHICKS!!!!
One of the parents had chicks, so she brought them to share with the class.

They each wrote their own name and height.
