The preliminary results of an analysis of the KIC 5390438 and KIC 5629080 light curves are presented. The variations of these stars were detected by Baran et al. (2011a) in a search for pulsating M dwarfs in the Kepler public database. In particular, the objects have been observed by the Kepler spacecraft during theQ2 and Q3 runs in a short-candence mode (integration time of $\sim$ 1 min). A Fourier analysis of the time series data has been performed by using the PERIOD04 package. The resulting power spectrum of each star shows a clear excess of power in the frequency range 100 and 350 $\mu$Hz with a sequence of spaced peaks typical of solar-like oscillations. A rough estimation of the large and small separations has been obtained. Spectroscopic observations secured at the Observatorio Astronomico Nacional in San Pedro M\'artir allowed us to derive a spectral classification olar like oscillations in the stars KIC 5390438 and KIC 5701829 observed by Kepler Thus, KIC 5390438 and KIC 5701829 have been identified as solar-like oscillating red giant and red dwarf stars, respectively.
