Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room!

Reading

We read a story this week What Do You Do with A Tail Like This? This is a cool story about unique animal parts or tails that do different things. We also read a couple stories that were similar- What Would You Do if you had Animal Teeth or Animal Hair? These were fun to learn about and discuss!

Jolly Phonics

We finished all the jolly phonics and all 95 popcorn words for the year! We learned our last word family this week too- ug. Please continue to practice using and spelling the popcorn words over the summer- have them write sentences using the popcorn words. :)

Math

We finished up math centers this week and did some more practice with completing number sentences to 10.

Writing/ Handwriting

We finished sharing our stories and they were very cute! We made a cute zebra craft today that they are coming with in honor of the zoo field trip next week! :)

**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!**

**Please remember to send your child with a packed lunch that can all be thrown away on Tuesday, May 31. Chaperones will be holding the lunches in a bag until they eat lunch.**

**The students did a great job at the musical last night and the poetry cafe this morning! I hope you enjoyed it! They worked really hard the past 2 weeks practicing for both! :)**

This is my last blog for the year! I hope you all have a wonderful summer! It has been a pleasure to teach your children this year- they have grown so much and are ready for first grade!!
