Tons of Halloween Fun!

It is an exciting Halloween day at Carver! We were excited to see our friends, teachers and staff in costumes!

                                        Gorgeous princesses!

                                    Brave and powerful Superheroes!

                                      Cute little bunny and ladybug!

                                                       Cool costumes!

 We were suprised to see some of our teachers as CRAYONS!

We gathered on the playground for some Halloween Fun! Pumpkin ball races, eerie eyeball spoon relays and bobbing for apples were all part of the fun!

We also had a great time performing at our PE Monster Mash Musical!  Thanks to all parents who attended!

Pp is for Pumpkins!

 We had lots of pumpkin fun today as we excitedly await Halloween!  For math we counted our pumpkin seeds.  Each student counted out ten seeds,then we counted by tens to see how many seeds came from our pumpkin!  We couldn't believe we had more than 240!  We toasted them in butter for a tasty treat! Yummy!

The letter Pp was a perfect letter for us this week! We were able to make Pumpkin hats for Pp, just in time for Halloween! We also read the story The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything!  It was about a little old lady that discovered many things as she walked through the forest. One of those things was a talking pumpkin head that was trying to frighten her!

Thanks for your support!

Thanks to all parents who were able to attend our scheduled conference for the end of the nine weeks!  It was great to visit with you all about the progress your child has made this first nine weeks!  I know the children are progressing because of their supportive parents at home!
Remember that your child will be bringing home their "baggie" reader on Tuesday.  Please spend a few  minutes each night (M-TH) reading.  The more opportunities your child has to read, the better reader they will become!

Time to Carve Our Pumpkin!

After voting and deciding that we wanted a spooky/scary pumpkin, the carving began.

  

                                                              We did it!

Ss for $, Shopping and Super Store!

Window shopping as we wait for our store to open!

Ss is for the Curious George Super Store!   The children stocked our store with an item or items from home that they no longer wanted.  The students were able to earn "dollars"for good deeds and behaviors, all week.  Friday finally arrived and we were able to shop!  We were so excited!  The children counted their money and the shopping began.  Many quickly learned how to budget and consumer shop to get the most for their money! Problem solving skills were strengthened, for sure!

Counting our dollars!

Ready to shop!

Exciting Day in the Garden!

Today was an exciting day in the garden!  Mrs. Bingham brought a new friend for us to meet.  Her name is Ms. Elaine and she is a master gardener from San Marcos. These ladies have been working hard to ready the beds for planting. Today we helped plant snapdragons, vegetable plants and seeds. We are learning so many things about gardening from these nice ladies. We are also learning that gardening is hard, but fun, work! Thank you to C and J Greenhouses for the wonderful donations and a special thanks to Mrs. Bingham for all of her efforts in making the garden project a successful one!

 Hard at work planting, watering and making sure the plants get just the right care!

             Making sure all of the weeds were gone before we plant our seeds!

 We were anxious to see what seeds Ms. Elaine had in her bag.

We had some terrific weed pullers!

 Some of us needed a break from the hard work!

Super-visors at Work!

  One of the ideas shared at Dr. Jean's workshop, last week, was a big hit with the children. The leaders had fun being Super-visors today!  The leaders each wore a visor with our newest sight words attached. The students had to tell the Super-visor the word before they were allowed to pass!  The Super-visors loved to supervise and the students are sure to remember "is" and "have."  Who ever knew sight word reading could be such fun?
