Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room!

  Reading 

We read St. Patrick's Day books this week.  We even got to draw a leprechaun- they did really well and liked it!

Jolly Phonics 

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

Math 

  We focused this week on measurement and graphing.  We did math centers where the students had to stamp adding numbers up to 10, folder games on measurement, math games on the i-pad, walking around the room and making addition sentences up to 10, putting shamrocks in order from the shortest to longest, place value of 10-20 tens and ones, and adding and subtracting numbers.

Writing/ Handwriting 

We have finished the handwriting book and are focusing on writing now.  We finished our personal narrative book and are in the process of sharing them- so far they are really cute.  As they share them, I will send them home.  We have started another narrative focusing on adding more detail to our illustrations and written part of the story.

**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!**

**No school next Friday, March 25 and the start of Spring Break- class resumes on April 4**

**We had our first full class of students this week so let's hope we are done with the flu!**

Have a great weekend!  

Happy Spring!
