Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room! 

  Reading 

We read a story this week- Arthur and the Perfect Christmas.  It is all about different traditions around the holidays.  We learned some new vocabulary words that went with the story- tradition, Hanukkah and nervous.  

We got to watch the movie today Arthur's Perfect Christmas as well.  The students were able to make some great comparisons and contrasts between the movie and book.

Jolly Phonics 

We learned about the letters "y" and "x".  Ask your child about the sounds and actions that go with those letters.  We added 2 popcorn words- "yes" and "no".  Please practice the popcorn words at home. :) 

Math 

We finished topic 6 this week and started topic 7 on understanding addition.  Our math centers this week practiced the teen numbers fluency and comparing and contrasting numbers.

Writing/ Handwriting 

We practiced the capital and lowercase u in handwriting this week.  We made Christmas trees with paint today for a craft. 

We made a book for Aubrey P. since she was the star student this week.

  

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Remember next Tuesday, December 16 is an early dismissal day.  The students will be dismissed at 12:00 and will not be eating lunch here at school.
