Carver Goes Caroling on the Square!

Carver children brought Christmas cheer to the square with many excited boys and girls singing carols to the community members that were in town this morning!

We started at the library with a toasty cup of hot chocolate!

We loved wearing our Rudolph shirts!  Thanks so much to Mrs. Bingham, Mrs. Santana and Mrs. Gillis for helping us make these wonderful Christmas shirts!

Itchy, Itchy Chickenpox!

Don't be alarmed!! After reading the book  Itchy, Itchy Chickenpox  for the letter Ii, we were excited to get Kindergarten (washable) chicken pox. We learned the word contagious and had lots of fun watching the chicken pox spread!

Election 2012

In keeping with the excitement of the day, children at Carver were able to cast their vote for President today!    The children were excited to see if Clifford, Curious George, Panda or Snoopy would become President of Carver!

             Marking our ballot with careful consideration!

                                               Ready to cast our vote!

Tough decisions! 

                                                  No favoritism here!

When the votes were counted at the end of the day we were excited to hear the results.
Clifford is our President!  Hooray!  He will work closely with Curious George as Vice President and Snoopy and Panda as Representatives!  Hooray for a super Election Day!

50 Days of Kindergarten!

Wow!  We can not believe we have been in Kindergarten for 50 days!  But, our brains know we have. We have been learning letters, sounds,  sight words and numbers!  Now we are learning how to blend sounds to read and write!  We are getting smart, smart and smarter!!

We Learn About Pressure from Pressure Pete!

On Friday we met Pressure Pete from the Quirkles!  The Quirkles® are 26 imaginary scientists that help children everyday, all over the world, develop a love and appreciation for science. There is a scientist for each letter of the alphabet with a cool story and experiment! Mrs. Janak read us the story about Pressure Pete and then we were able to do a pressure experiment! We think science experiments are super!

 Pressure Pete explains to his friends how pressure is lowered as they suck on a straw.

 

The children tried to drink through two straws-one in the water and one out of the water.

 They were not able to suck any of the liquid because of the decrease in pressure!  Perplexed is a word that we also learned while reading about Pressure Pete! We discovered why Pressure Pete was so perplexed, or
confused.
                                    
The children discovered why drinking with one straw was easier. It was all about the pressure!  The boys and girls decided that they would try this pressure experience the next time they had a chance to drink with a straw!

        We think science is super!
