Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room!
Happy Fall!
Reading
We read a bunch of Thanksgiving stories this week. We also read 2 poems- The Scarecrow and The Turkey. Next week, we will be reading some more Thanksgiving books and creating our own thankful book. We will do 2 poems next week as well.
Jolly Phonics
We added the letters "ee" and "or" this week to our sounds we learned. Ask your child what the action is that goes with the 2 sounds. We added three new popcorn words as well- "is", "can", and "but". Next week we will learn the letter "z" sound and have 2 popcorn words- "to" and "too". Point out the popcorn words in stories you read to your children as well. Then, when they are reading to self during daily 5 they will recognize those words and be proud that they can read them.
Handwriting
We did capital C, O, and Q this week in handwriting.
Math
We did lots of work this week finding and identifying 11-20 on the ten frames. We played some turkey bingo as well. Next week we will be doing some turkey math.
Writing
We wrote and drew something we like about Luke since he was our star student for the week. We made some turkeys that are hanging up outside our room as well.

I will not be sending out a blog next week since it is such a short week. So, please have a wonderful Thanksgiving and travel safely if you are going to be out of town. Report cards will go home with the students next Tuesday as well. No school Wednesday-Friday next week.
Have a great weekend! Stay warm! :)
