Monkeys in the Garden!

Thanks to Mrs. Bingham, Emma and Chloes's mom, you will find monkeys in the Carver Kinder "Garden" this year! Mrs. Bingham has offered to help with the garden and  we are excited about the chance to work and plant things in the garden!  Mrs. Bingham has been working in the garden as she is waiting to pick up her children in the afternoon. We would love for any other Carver families to join us in our project if you would like.

Mrs.Bingham showed the children how to weed the garden!

The children were excited to see the roots!  That meant " a job well done"!

Lots of super weed pullers!

More great weed pullers!

      We soon found out weed pulling can be hot and tiring!

                                                                     

Be on the Look Out!

It is hard to believe we have already completed 6 weeks of Kindergarten!  Progress reports will go out on Thursday, Oct. 11th.  Please be on the look out for your child's progress report as well as a conference sign up note.  Oct. 29th will be a student holiday/ teacher conference  day. We will discuss your child's first nine weeks report card during this conference and any other questions or concerns you may have!

Thirty Days of Learning!

Today is the 30th day of Kindergarten!  Of course we were so excited to see Zero the Hero again!  Some of the children use the calendar tools to figure out when he will visit.  One little boy told us last Wednesday that he knew Zero the Hero would visit on Monday!  That's a great brain at work!

Zero the Hero gave us each 3 zeros for 10,20,30!

Marvelous Music for Mm!

Our Morning Message told us that today was the day Ezekiel's dad was coming to play MUSIC for us!  We were very excited as we had posted this day on our calendar and  had been  anxiously waiting to see Ezekiel and his dad play!

Ezekiel's dad explained the musical instruments he brought to show us.  He told us about his guitar and  about Ezekiel's  drum-like instrument called a cajon!

They were marvelous!  The boys and girls decided they wanted to be singers and cajon players!! Thanks to Mr. Rodriguez and Ezekiel for a musical treat!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins Everywhere!

As we changed our calendar to October we began to feel the excitement of Fall!  We loved creating our pumpkin patch in the hall! Our hall seemed to come alive with our "personality-plus" pumpkins!

Mixed Up Monday!

 Mm for Mixed Up Mondays, monkeys and mustaches!  We discovered lots of letter fun today as we learned letter Mm.  We were excited to see some of our friends wearing mix-up shirts, shoes and socks.  We also read a story about Merry Mouse who had the measles. In the story, Mr. Monster (who had a mustache!) cured Merry with  medicine and mittens!

                                     

One of our friends is taking home the Monkey Mystery  Backpack tonight!  He going to find one item that begins with the letter Mm. Tomorrow he will give us clues about the item and we will try to guess what

it is!

                                     

We will be sending home the Monkey Mystery  Backpack each week as we learn more letters! Everyone will get a turn to surprise us with a mystery letter item!

Chicka Chicka! Boom! Boom!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, we've had a lot of fun with letters in this room!  We have now completed our overview of the alphabet and will begin a look at letter Mm next week.  We will be not be just learning the letter Mm but will learn the sound it makes and begin to read and write using Mm! Monday will be Mixed Up Monday, so please wear something all mixed up!! You might want to wear your shirt backwards or your socks and shoes mismatched!  We'll have a magnificent Monday!
