Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room! 

  Reading 

We read a few stories this week about gingerbread men.  Our gingerbread man even ran away from our room.  He left us a few clues and we have been looking for him all week.  Luckily, Mrs. Irish caught him today and brought him back to our room! :)

Jolly Phonics 

We learned about the letters "oo".  Ask your child about the sounds and action that go with those 2 letters.  We added 2 popcorn words- "go" and "so".  Please practice the popcorn words at home. :) When we get back from holiday break we will be getting 3 words each week to learn!

Math 

We have been working on topic 7- understanding addition.  We did not have math centers this week but played some fun holiday math games.

Writing/ Handwriting 

We practiced the capital and lowercase s in handwriting this week.  We made reindeer food for Christmas Eve for a craft. Be sure to put it outside to feed the reindeer! :)

We made a book for Shivang. since he was the star student this week.

  

Thanks to Mrs. Cerny, Mrs. Kotel, and Mrs. Bowers for putting on a great holiday party today!  The students had a blast!  Thanks to all the parents who sent in things for the party as well! :)

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday break!  I hope you have time to relax and spend time with your families!  I will see you all next year! :)

School resumes on Monday, January 5.
