Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room!
Reading
We read a story this week-If I Were President. This is a fun story about a kid as president. The students had fun imagining what they would do if they were president. :). The students learned some new vocabulary with the story: preserve, protect, defend, mansion, speech, and comfort.
Jolly Phonics
We have finished all the jolly phonics sounds so we are now focusing on word families- this week we learned about the -et family. We also learned the popcorn words one, two, and three. Please practice the words at home.
Math
We focused this week on positional words using shapes. We did math centers where the students had to stamp with numbers 16-20, games about shapes, math games on the i-pad, walking around the room and making a number sentence, a shape book, a shape necklace, and another shape game with positional words in it.
Writing/ Handwriting
We have finished the handwriting book and are focusing on writing now. We started a personal narrative book this week. I sent home the journal writing we had done from the past couple months. These were just individual writings like journal writing, now we are writing a book! We made some President crafts today that are hanging in the room- they are really cute!
**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!**
**Snowflake Ball is this Saturday, February 20. Tickets were sent home yesterday for those people who signed up for it. Have fun!**
Have a great weekend! Enjoy the spring-like temperatures!
