Frog Water!

We had fun with the color GREEN today.   We  sang our GREEN color song  and read the story Little Blue and Little Yellow. We sang a silly song about a little green frog, then watched a short clip of a real frog catching a fly with his long sticky tongue! We then became scientists and experimented with mixing blue and yellow to make green.  We created Frog Water by mixing blue and yellow food coloring in our water bottles!  We were really excited about drinking Frog Water!

Remember Open House!

Remember that Carver will be having Open House on Sept. 10 from 5:30-6:30.  We hope to see you there!

R-E-D! We can spell RED and our names!

We began COLOR fun today along with a look at letters of the alphabet.  We learned that we need those letters to write words!  Today was RED day! We are creating "Rainbow Names" to help us practice writing our names with one capital letter and all of the rest lowercase letters.  Remember to wear yellow on Wednesday!

First Monkey Birthday of the Year!

Today we celebrated our first monkey birthday of the year! How exciting!  Our birthday boy helped with the announcements this morning and then we sang Happy Birthday to him.  He even got to blow out real candles on our Kindergarten  birthday cake.  He chose a "high six" from Mrs. Daily instead of   birthday hugs or "whack-a-roos"!  We discovered birthdays are pretty cool in Kindergarten!

Be on the Look Out!

Be on the lookout for your child's weekly newsletter that will come home each Friday!  The newsletter will let you know what we are doing each week in math, reading and unit (social studies/science). If your child's newsletter has a happy face on it, this means your child was on green all week!  Hooray for great behavior!

Also, be on the lookout for  homework folders!  Your child will be bringing a plastic colored  homework folder home on Tuesday,Sept. 4! Please help your child with his homework each night to reinforce skills taught in class and to promote good study habits.

Monkey Artists at Work!

We have had lots of  "Monkey Fun" this week as we established our classroom rules, routines and expectations! Listening, following directions, walking in the building and being nice to others are all "good monkey" traits!

Monkey Fun!

Curious George has helped us learn about our classroom!  We read a story about Naughty Monkeys and talked about why rules are so important.  We sang about Monkeys and Alligators and even discovered that we have "Monkey Magic"!  You can even find the "Monkey Train" going down the hall as we go to recess or to the cafeteria. We love MONKEYS!
