Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room!

Reading

We read a story this week- What do you do with a Tail like this? This is a cute story about animal parts and what they do with the different parts of their bodies- like tails, eyes, noses, and mouths. We learned some new words with the story as well: pesky, warn, squirt, leap, scoop, and capture.

Jolly Phonics

This week we learned about the word family -ug. We played some games using our popcorn words. I will send home the popcorn assessments next week so you can see if their are any popcorn words to practice over the summer. Writing sentences with popcorn words is always good practice too.

Math

We started topic 16 this week on analyzing and comparing shapes. Our last centers of the year this week consisted of some folder games on shapes, measurement, and data, tally mark counting, and making faces out of shapes.

Writing/ Handwriting

We did some handwriting this week practicing teen numbers. We started our last project for the year this week on different animals. They will finish them up next week and bring them home for you to see. :)

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.

The kindergarten musical was a hit! The children did great- I hope you all enjoyed it and your child slept good for you that night! :)
