Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room! 

  Reading 

It was Dr. Seuss week here in kindergarten!  The students had a lot of fun dressing wacky and reading lots of Dr. Seuss books.  We learned about Dr. Seuss in our Weekly Reader this week too.  All of our morning work had to do with Dr. Seuss and some of his books.  We did a green eggs and ham craft today as well.

Jolly Phonics 

We focused on the word families -it and -in  this week.  We added three new popcorn words this week- "this",  "that", and "new". 

Math 

We practiced adding and subtracting number sentences this week.  The students seem to really understand the concept of making a number sentence by putting manipulatives together or taking them apart.  Subtraction is a little more challenging than addition.  But we will continue to master those.  We took our first addition timed test this afternoon on +0.  We will be doing those weekly to practice fluency of addition sentences.  After we do all the way to +5, we will start subtraction fluency tests.

Writing/ Handwriting 

We wrote and drew a picture about Emily this week since she was our star student.
