When I Grow Up!

This week we have learned about our great community of Lockhart and the jobs of many people that help us.  We now know what we want to be when we grow up!

I want to be:

Jayden: a doctor because doctors help people get

            better.

Emy: a vet so I can help people take care of their

       animals.

Kaylee:a doctor so I can help people feel better.

Junior: a fireman so I can put fires out and get a

           fire dog.

Jon: a monster truck driver cause I always want to be.

Joseph J.: a cop so I take people to jail when they are a

            grownup  and they be bad.

Audrina: a doctor so I can put a band aid on people.

Esther: a doctor like my mama. She pokes people on

            the leg.

Isaac:an astronaut so I can go see the moon and look       

         down on earth.

Jace:a race car driver cause I dreamed about that.

Leandra:a vet to help.

Kryslyn: a vet to take care of all the animals that are

             not wild.

Analisa: an animal doctor so I can help the animals feel   

            better.

Sashya: a food cooker to cook birthday cakes.

CJ:a veterinarian because I want to take care of

       animals.

Lizzie:a veterinarian because they take care of animals

          and I think that is really important.

Cash: A policeman.

Zander: an astronaut to get on the earth. That earth that has those  little holes on it

Our community will be in great hands in the future!

We Filled our Marble Jar! Hooray!

We have been working very hard to fill our marble jar!  Each time our class, as a whole, does something really well we get to put marbles in the jar!  Yesterday it reached the top as we were all working very quietly during "brain work" time.  Today we voted on our celebration/reward.  We voted between POPsicles, POPcorn and POPping our shoes off to go barefoot all day! POPPING our shoes off received the most votes!

This is going to be fun!

 It's fun to be barefoot at school!

Our barefooted alphabet train!

 Centers in our bare feet is extra fun!

 Snacking in our barefeet

Going barefoot is the best!

Filling up our marble jar is even BETTER!

Hooray for us!

Zero the Hero Comes Again!

Today was the 20th day of Kindergarten!  Zero the Hero came to visit us again.  This time he gave us 2 zeros!  Some of us have figured out that he will come again in another 10 days!

We have had a busy 20 days of Kindergarten! We are learning about letters so that we can learn to read and write.  We also have learned four sight words as well as color words. In Math we have worked on shapes, colors, sorting and classifying and now we are learning about positional words. We have also worked very hard at rules and routines to make Carver a fun, safe place to be. We are building a great foundation  for a fantastic Kindergarten year!

Don't Forget to Come to Open House, Tuesday Sept. 24th!

We will be having Open House/Back to School Night at Carver tomorrow night!  We hope you can visit.  Please meet in the cafeteria for a short meeting with Ms. Nixon, our principal, at 5pm.  Children and families will then be able to visit the classroom and tour our school from 5:30-6:30! The Book Fair will also be open at that time!

Sorting Fun!

Kindergarten math is a year of exploration and discovery of numbers. In math this week we have been sorting and classifying. Sorting and classifying objects not only teaches 

children about attributes and relationships, but also promotes thinking logically and applying rules.

We learned to sort by color

                                       and shape.

                               

 Sorting pom poms are cool.  Thanks Jon, for bringing these!

 We can sort sea shells by size.

 Sorting another "treasure collection"!

Sorting a hair accessory collection by shape

Sorting by color and shape

Sorting collections with our friends is fun!

 By learning to follow rules  like " why certain objects belong in certain groups" we are  grasping

concepts that form a basis for understanding mathematical functions.  Learning MATH is fun!

Thanks to all who brought wonderful items for us to add to our collections!

Rhyming Rocks with Fox in Sox!

We had fun with rhyming words today as we became fox in socks after reading the Dr. Seuss book, Fox in Socks!    We each made our own fox hat. After we rhymed words with Mrs. Daily we were able to take off our shoes!  It was fun to be a fox in socks! Research shows that children who can understand about rhyming words have a head start in learning to read and, even more, to spell.

We think RHYMING ROCKS!

Hip, Hip, Hooray for the USA!

We gathered at the flagpole today to observe Constitution Day and celebrate being an American! We said the pledge of allegiance to the flag and sang God Bless the USA with the whole school!

We learned that the Constitution was written over 200 years ago as a guide for our country to be able to run smoothly!

We each had a chance to design our own RED, WHITE and BLUE hat using stars and stripes!

Check out these GREAT AMERICANS!

God Bless the
