Mrs. Phelps' class had a POWerful day learning all about digraphs.  They learned that digraphs are one new sound represented by two letters, such as:  sh, th, ch, wh, and ph.  They used cool superhero glasses to find hidden digraphs all around the classroom.  It was amazing how quiet and hardworking these superheroes were.  The class concluded that the best digraph is ...
