Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room! 

  Reading 

We read a story this week- Everything's Spring.  What a great spring-like week for this story!  We learned many new and exciting words from the story and talked a lot about spring weather, especially with our craft today had to do a lion and lamb. :)  Some vocabulary words we learned are: fawn, fuzzy, meadow, huddle, and streams.

Jolly Phonics 

We are practicing writing popcorn words in sentences- great practice for them!  This week we learned about the word family -it.  We added 3 popcorn words- "soon", "went" and "come".  Please practice the popcorn words at home. :)   We also learned some blends this week- fl, bl, and cl.  We learned lots of new word while blending! :)

Math 

  We finished topic 11 this week practicing decomposing numbers from 11-20.  We will start topic 12 next week on measurement!  This should be a fun topic!  Centers this week we practiced addition, made a subtraction book, and colored a spring sheet using addition sentences.

Writing/ Handwriting 

We practiced the letter Xx in handwriting this week.  We made a book this week for Haley since she is our star student.  We did a fun lion and lamb craft, as well as, a writing activity with it.

Reminder for next week- early dismissal day on Thursday, March 19.  Students will be dismissed at 12:00 pm.

Please remember to send in a HEALTHY snack for your child- cookies and treats are not healthy snacks.  It needs to be a 100%juice, fruits or vegetables preferably, otherwise crackers or something like that.

Have a wonderful weekend!  Enjoy this warmth!
