Ten Timid Ghosts - FUN!!!

We just LOVE this book...
It is a fun counting book with many great illustrations and rhymes.

The students are so engaged while listening to it and want to read it again and again! They LOVE retelling it too!

I decided to create some ghostly materials to go with this story. I am SO happy I did! My students reeeeeeeeeally love using all of the materials. 




Check out the fun Literacy and Math pack that I created that go along with 
TEN TIMID GHOSTS. 

Included in the pack:



Large character pictures for whole group story retelling.


Small character picture cards and name/word cards for small group retelling








Ghost number and quantity match up or ordering

Ghostly 10 frames for students to build quantities for 1-10


Subtraction sentences, answers, and ghosts for students to use for solving

I will share pictures of the students retelling this story as a whole group tomorrow!

Police and Fire Station Visit

We had a GREAT TIME on our first field trip!
We went to the Madeira Police and Fire Stations. The students enjoyed checking out the inside of the fire truck, learning about fire safety, sitting in the police car, touring the jail cell, and watching the EMTs respond to a call!

Here are some of the highlights of our trip:
