Ms. Marzoni's Class: "Names" and Letter Oo

What a fun week! Our week began with "Open House." We invited all parents to visit our school and check out our classroom to see what we've been up to in Kindergarten. We made our room extra inviting!

This week we began our math lessons. Our math unit was sorting, we did many fun sorting games and activities throughout the week.

In phonics, we learned the letter Oo. This is our first vowel and we had lots of fun with all of the great activities. We made an octopus from the letter O with cheeriOs on the tentacles!

We illustrated our phonics sentence in our journals, this week our sentence was "Ollie Octopus enjoys olives and onions on pizza." Soon we'll be writing words and sentences in our journals!

One of our most fun activities was making "octopus legs!" We read the book "Octopus Stew" and then made our own version of the "O" treat!

First you roll the octopus leg (pizza dough)...

Make sure it's long enough!

Then put cheeriOs for the suckers and don't forget to dip it in the octopus ink (blueberry jelly)!

Our friends in Ms. Dryden's class made an octopus cake and shared with us!

We really enjoyed this tasty treat!

Our thematic unit was "names." Throughout the week we practiced writing our names neatly and correctly forming our letters. We also practiced reading our friends' names.
