Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room! 

  Reading 

We read another non fiction book this week Tools.  We learned a new vocab word -useful- that goes with the book.  During daily 5 this week we did many activities that involved stamping and writing CVC words.  We finished the lion and lamb craft and started our writing activity on how we are more like lion or lamb weather.  We did not get to finish it, so will have to do that after spring break.

Jolly Phonics 

We focused on the word families "ed" and "en" this week.  We added three new popcorn words this week- "who",  "what", and "where". Keep practicing those popcorn books- we have a lot of words now!

Math 

We introduced, length, height, and weight this week during math.  During centers we did a bunch of leprechaun and shamrock activities on adding, measuring, and skip counting.

Writing/ Handwriting 

We wrote a sentence and drew a picture about Ava this week since she is star student.  

  

       

           

            

**Thanks to the Hines and Rinaldi families for donating Kleenex, paper towels, and wipes!**  We still could use all 3 items!  All of the kindergarten classrooms are running low and we changed the supply list for next year because of this. :)

 **Remember snack should be healthy , such as fruit, vegetables, cheese, or crackers. If you are sending a juice, make sure it is 100% juice.** Thanks!
