Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room! 

  Reading 

We read a story this week- My Friends.  This is a cute story about a little girl who learns different things from different friends.  The students loved the book!  We learned some new words with the story as well: companion, explore, creature, and imitate.

Jolly Phonics 

  This week we learned the letters i and p and the actions that go with them.  Ask your child what sounds they make and what actions go with those sounds. :).  We also learned the popcorn word I.  Please practice the words at home. 

Math 

  We learned and practiced writing the numbers 1-5 this week.  We practiced doing some more math centers and calendar activities as well.  We read a story today Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.  We did a fun craft with it and it is hanging in our classroom!

Writing/ Handwriting 

We did a few pages in our handwriting book introducing the more strokes we use to make our letters.  We also did a journal today to go with our My Friends book.  They had to complete the sentence: I like to play _______________ with my friends, then draw a picture of what they like to do with their friends.

Please remember to send in a HEALTHY snack for your child- cookies and treats are not healthy snacks.  It needs to be fruits or vegetables preferably, otherwise crackers or something like that.  They are welcome to bring in a water bottle to drink during the day.  Please bring it filled, we do not fill water bottles during the day.  If they drink it all, then they can get water from the drinking fountain.  Thanks!

Remember to fill out the book order I sent home last week by next Friday if you want books. Thanks!

 Thanks to all of you who attended curriculum night!  :)

Have a great weekend!
