Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room!
Reading
We read a story this week- Chicks and Salsa. This is a funny story about some farm animals who are sick of their regular food- so they decide to make mexican food! It is really cute and entertaining! Our craft today consisted of making a horse- they are really cute! We learned some new words with the story: discovered, encouragement, overwhelmed, and disappointed.
Jolly Phonics
This week we learned about the word family -ob. We added 4 popcorn words- "was", "saw", "are", and "well". Please practice the popcorn words at home. :) We also learned some blends this week- scr, spr, and spl. We learned lots of new words while blending! :)
Math
We are learning all about shapes in topic 14 this week. It is fun to point out the shapes all around us! Our centers this week were a little more challenging, but fun. We did some stamping and tallying of teen numbers, addition rainbows, dominoes with addition sentences, and then using some addition and subtraction poppers to make number sentences.
Writing/ Handwriting
We did some practice reviewing letters we have already learned in handwriting this week. Our craft today also had a writing activity- they had to pick a couple facts we found about horses and write them on the horse craft.
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.
We will have until the end of the school year Mrs. Grishow in our classroom as a helper. She has been helping out with a lot of things and the students are enjoying the extra help in the room. :) She goes by a few names- Mrs. G or Mrs. Lori too- in case you hear your child mention that name.
Have fun at gym night tonight if you go- I will see you there! :)
Have a great weekend! Enjoy the warmth this weekend!!
