Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room! 

  Reading 

We read a story this week called The Relatives Came.  It was about a family who comes to visit some of their relatives and all that goes with visiting relatives! :)  Some vocab words we learned this week were: tend, squeeze, wrinkled, and silent.  We did do a poem today about Grandmas and Grandpas and how wonderful they are!  We did not get to do all the activities we had planned for the story because of the short week and snow (cold) days.

Jolly Phonics 

We learned about the letters "ch" and "sh".  Ask your child about the sounds and actions that go with those letters.  We added 3 popcorn words- "the", "you" and "down".  Please practice the popcorn words at home. :) 

Math 

We finished up topic 7 this week- understanding addition.  We will continue to practice addition during our center time.  We will start topic 8 next week on understanding subtraction.

Writing/ Handwriting 

We practiced the capital and lowercase b in handwriting this week.  We did a mitten craft today.

We made a book for Aiden, since he was the star student this week.

Next week we have an early dismissal day on Friday, January 16.  Students get out at 12:00 and do not eat lunch here.

Gym night is tonight here at Ide- if you are going have fun! :)  

Welcome to winter!  What a crazy weather week- I hope you were able to enjoy the 2 days off with your child and stayed warm! :)

Have a great weekend!
