In Jolly Phonics today, I taught the class the "ie" digraph sound. The motion for this sound is to stand to attention and salute saying ie, ie. Both classes did a wonderful job learning the sound and applying what they learned in circling words that had the sound within the word. It was so much fun hearing all my kindergarten friends read words that had the new sound within the words too. They are all becoming wonderful readers and with each new sound they learn, they are able to read and spell more and more words on their own. Great job, K-1 and K-3!

After Jolly Phonics, we took a "brain break" and went outside to play on the playground with our masks on. It was so fun to hear all the giggles and see the huge smiles as they ran around together on the playground!

At the end of our kindergarten day, I did a TLC activity with both classes where I taught them how to make a jack-o-lantern out of cut out construction paper. They did such a great job following my step-by-step directions and turning their own pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns with the left over black and white paper they have left. I LOVED seeing all their finished projects! They turned out amazing!

It was another fantastic day in kindergarten! Have a great night, everyone!
