Yesterday, we learned the "ch" letter sound in Jolly Phonics. The motion for this sound is to pretend to be a steam train moving your arms like piston rods saying, ch, ch, ch. Both classes did wonderful learning this "new" digraph sound and applying what they learned into finding words that had this sound at the beginning, middle and end of a word. Yay, K-1 and K-3!

 In math, I did a lesson with both classes where they learned that fingers can represent a set of objects up to 5 and fingers and toes together can represent a set of objects up to 20. They LOVED showing me the teen numbers with using their feet and their fingers together to show me a given number! Math was filled with a lot of giggles and smiles! They thought it was so silly to use your toes for counting! 

For the last hour of our day in both classes, we had our Halloween party (A-K last names had their party on Thursday and L-Z had their party yesterday). Thank you to all the wonderful room parents for their planning and organizing! Both classes had SO much fun! I kept hearing, "Mrs. Naughten, this is the best day ever!" So cute! Here are some pictures from our Halloween fun in both classes:

It was a fun-filled week in K-1 and K-3! Remember that we don't have school Monday due to Institute Day and Tuesday due to Election Day. Happy Halloween everyone and have a great LONG weekend! 

Below is an important letter about the "Just Jump" fundraiser we are having at Olive from November 2-16th. We would LOVE everyone to participate! I sent it out in a class email last week so please check your email to learn more about it and the link to the "Just Jump" fundraiser.
