Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room!

  Reading 

We read a story this week From Seed to Plant.  It is a non-fiction book that the students enjoyed learning about this week. :)

Jolly Phonics 

 We have finished all the jolly phonics sounds so we are now focusing on word families- this week we learned about the -ip family.  We also learned the popcorn words say, away, play, and they.  We will be learning 4 words every week till the end of the year now.  Please practice the words at home. 

Math 

  We have started our focus this week on addition.  We did math centers where the students had to stamp adding numbers up to 10, addition and subtraction using gumballs, math games on the i-pad, walking around the room and answering addition problems, counting sticks in bundles in the teens, making an addition number sentence book, and writing the 3 numbers that come after a random number.

Writing/ Handwriting 

We have finished the handwriting book and are focusing on writing now.  We have just one more personal narrative story left to share.  We are almost done with our second story and they are coming along great!  We will share those as well.  We made a craft today labeling the parts of a flower.  They are hanging outside our room.

**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- early dismissal day is next Wednesday, April 13- the students will not eat lunch here and are dismissed at 11:00**

Have a great weekend!  

Happy Spring!
