Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room!

  Reading 

We read a bunch of Dr. Seuss books this week in honor of his birthday- March 2.  We did some fun crafts and activities with the stories as well.

Jolly Phonics 

 We have finished all the jolly phonics sounds so we are now focusing on word families- this week we learned about the -ed family.  We also learned the popcorn words this, that, and new.  Please practice the words at home. 

Math 

  We focused this week on Dr. Seuss math- a variety of activities!  We did math centers where the students had to stamp adding numbers up to 10, a tic-tac-toe game, math games on the i-pad, walking around the room and finding consecutive numbers, an addition fish bowl, connect the dot, and sorting and graphing goldfish.

Writing/ Handwriting 

We have finished the handwriting book and are focusing on writing now.  We are finishing up our personal narrative book.  We will get those finished next week and share them.

**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- no school tomorrow, March 4 due to a teacher institute day.**

**Please remember to keep your children home from school until they are 100% better and symptom-free from any illnesses- I can't remember the last time we had a full class!  I got the flu last week as well! :(**

Have a great, long weekend!
