Kindergarten News in Mrs.Olsen's Room! 

  Reading 

We read a story this week called Bear's Loose Tooth.  February is dental health month- so perfect story to talk about how to take care of your teeth!  We watched a video, made a graph of our teeth, did some comparing and contrasting of teeth stories, and did a fun craft today about teeth  Some vocab words we learned this week were: nibbled, savored, gulped, frowned, and welled. 

Jolly Phonics 

Since jolly phonics is over we are practicing a little more with our popcorn words- putting the words into sentences; we started practicing writing the words in sentences- good practice for them!  We will continue to focus on word families and blends till the end of the year as well.  This week we learned about the word family -en.  We added 3 popcorn words- "four", "five" and "said".  Please practice the popcorn words at home. :) 

Math 

  We started topic 10 this week practicing writing number sentences from 11-20.  Centers this week we practiced recognizing numbers 11-20, writing 5-100 by 5's, and some addition sentences.  

Writing/ Handwriting 

We practiced the letter Yy and Vv in handwriting this week.  We made a book this week for Kaden K. since he is our star student.

Next week is Dr. Seuss week- a sheet was sent home earlier this week with all the fun activities we will be doing for Dr. Seuss.  

A project was sent home today as well for St. Patrick's Day project to with your child- have fun and return by Monday, March 9.  Thanks!

Please remember to send in a HEALTHY snack for your child- cookies and treats are not healthy snacks.  It needs to be a 100%juice, fruits or vegetables preferably, otherwise crackers or something like that.

Have a wonderful weekend!
