Lots of Cool Families Visited Open House at Carver!

The children were very excited to bring their families to Open House tonight at Carver!  The children were tour guides and took their family to their classroom and other favorite places at school.  The Book Fair and Family Photo spot were popular places to visit also.  Check out some of  our cool families!


 
                                       Thanks for popping in!



Zero the Hero!

Today was our tenth day of school!  Zero the Hero came to visit.  He came to teach us that the number 0 saves a space so other numbers cant get in his place!  He also gave us a zero treat to eat!  We cant wait until the day he comes again! (Hint: he will come on the 20th day of school!)

Second Week a Success!



Our second week of school was a success.  We learned to read the color words red, blue, yellow and green as well as the words I, am!  We also learned during our ME unit that we are all individuals- different and special! We continued to work on classroom rules and expectations.  The children are quick to share our classroom secret: "If you listen, you learn!"   Shhhhh!

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!

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!
