Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room!
Reading
We read another non fiction book this week A Tiger Cub Grows Up. It was all about how a baby tiger grows and becomes an adult. The students found it interesting! We learned some new vocab words - wild, tame, creep, and pounce. They had fun acting these words out! During daily 5 this week we making our popcorn words with play-doh, the students always love working with play-doh!
Jolly Phonics
We focused on the word family -ock this week. We added four new popcorn words this week- "was", "saw", "are" and "well". Please keep practicing- there are a ton of words now!
Math
This week we worked on a few different games using dice that focused on addition and subtraction. We also took our mixed addition and subtraction timed test. We will continue with these until the end of the year to work on fluency of math facts with the students.
Writing/ Handwriting
We worked on some handwriting pages this week. We worked on lower case a and d. We also wrote a sentence about why we like Christine since she was our star student this week. We created a flower person with a poem today for our craft! They look great!
