Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room! 

  Reading 

We read a story this week called Winter Wonderland.  It is a non-fiction book all about what winter is like.  We did some visualizing with the story. Some vocab words we learned this week were: gentle, vanish, astonishing, sparkle, trembling, howling, twinkle, and sneaky.  

Jolly Phonics 

We learned about the letters "qu" and "ou".  Ask your child about the sounds and actions that go with those letters.  We added 3 popcorn words- "our", "here" and "out".  Please practice the popcorn words at home. :) 

Math 

We are continuing with topic 8 this week- subtraction!  We did some winter math activities during our center time.  

Writing/ Handwriting 

We practiced the letter Rr in handwriting this week, as well as, a review of a few letters.  We did another snowman craft today with our name.  We did another craft this afternoon with a child catching a snowflake on their tongues- these are cute and are hanging outside the classroom. :)

Friday, January 30 is pajama day next week.  Wear your cozy pajamas and bring a favorite bedtime book to read at school. :)

Have a great weekend!
