Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room!

Reading

We read a story this week called Apples, Apples, Apples. It is all about a family that goes apple picking and what they are going to do with the apples once they have picked them. We learned some new vocabulary words that went with the story- chart, limb, orchard, stem, skin, core,and flesh.

We are on book 3 Mummies in the Morning in the Magic Tree House books. They are really enjoying them!

Jolly Phonics

We learned about the letters "o" and "u". Ask your child about the sounds and actions that go with those letters. We added 2 popcorn words- we and on. Please practice the popcorn words at home. :) We did another sight word book- Thanksgiving Dinner- see if your child can read it to you. :)

Math

We finished topic 3 on reading, writing, counting, and comparing the numbers 6-10. We will start topic 4 next week on comparing and ordering numbers 0-10. They did math centers this week that had to do with apples. :)

Writing/ Handwriting

We practiced the capital and lowercase o in handwriting this week. We created a cool hand apple tree today. We also made an apple and labeled all the parts of it- you should see that come home with them today.
