Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room! 

  Reading 

We read a story this week- Flower Garden. It is a cute story about a little girl who makes a flower box for her mother's birthday.  The weather this week was not very spring like even though we talked a lot about spring weather with this story. :( Some vocabulary words we learned are: pedestrian, passenger, eager, and assortment.

Jolly Phonics 

  This week we learned about the word family -ig.  We added 3 popcorn words- "who", "what" and "where".  Please practice the popcorn words at home. :)   When we get back from spring break we will be adding 4 words each week! :)  We also learned some blends this week- dr, fr, cr, and br.  We learned lots of new words while blending! :)

Math 

  We finished topic 12 this week on measurement.  We will start topic 13 when we get back from spring break on sorting, classifying and analyzing data at a kindergarten level!  :)  Centers this week we practiced measuring different items, counted by 5's and 10's, and made different addition sentences using dice.

Writing/ Handwriting 

We practiced the letter Zz in handwriting this week. We are done with all the letters now in handwriting.  I am stressing that the students start to write with all lowercase letters unless it is the beginning of a name or sentence.  We did a craft today on a flower- it is cute and is hanging in the room.

 

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 spring break!  See you in April!
