Lots of Halloween fun at Carver Kindergarten today!!! We were so excited to see all our friends dressed up in costumes! There were Super Heroes, Dracula's, Princesses and Fairies and Batman too!  The students loved seeing their teachers all dressed as crayons as well! Halloween Centers on the playground were a blast!  We had a pumpkin relay and an "eye-ball" relay!  We even bobbed for apples and ate some "boney-legs" (pretzels)!  Thank you to all the parents who attended the Monster Mash in the gym!!!  And thanks to our magnificent PE teachers, Mrs. Hutchins and Ms. Martin!  Carver kids are the best!!!!

P is for Pumpkins and S is for spiders!!

Learning about letter Pp and letter Ss was so much fun especially when we could be silly spiders and perfect pumpkins!

SUPER STAR!!!

Brielle had a terrific time with Clifford over the weekend!!  She took Clifford to a Fall Festival and rode on a hayride!  She took him to her church and out to eat too!  Brielle was so happy to have Clifford with her for the weekend and she will cherish all the happy memories for a long time!

Science with Susie Sound!

Learning about sound was sensational!!!
Today we visited Mrs. Janak's kindergarten classroom and read about Susie Sound and the Quirkles. We learned that sound is actually waves of energy. Then we did Susie Sound's Musical Glasses Experiment!   We poured different amounts of water in four of the same size drinking glasses. We concluded that the glass with the most water had the highest pitch and the glass with the least amount of water had the lowest pitch. According to the Quirkles, "When the air column is shorter, the air vibrates faster and the pitch is higher. As the height of the air column gets higher, the pitch of the sound gets lower." This was a "fun science learning experiment"!!!

We can't wait to meet "Pressure Pete" next week!!

Spin-a-roo!!

Another fun way to learn sight words...Sight words Spin-a-roo!!!  The students spin their spinner and then record on their own recording sheet to see which sight word they will spin the most!

Sight Word Supervisors!!

Introducing our supervisors for the day!!  Emma and Mark have a very important job making sure all the boys and girls read our sights words, is and have.  Learning sight words can be lots of fun!!!

Halloween writing!!!!

Working hard making a scary Halloween book.  Be sure to let your child read his/her book to you for a frightful experience!!!

SUPER STAR!!

Our Super Star last week was Colton.  He took Clifford on a special Creepy Campout with his family!!  Clifford and Colton had a great time playing games, doing crafts, and exploring lots of trails together!  Colton said the best part of all was they got to sleep two nights in a tent!!!

ZERO THE HERO!!!!

WHAT A CUTE "ZERO, THE HERO"!!!!  CAN YOU BELIEVE WE HAVE BEEN IN KINDERGARTEN 40 DAYS NOW!!!  WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH FUN LEARNING, PLAYING AND EXPLORING TOGETHER!!! 

We LOVE PUMPKINS!!!

WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME CARVING OUR PUMPKIN YESTERDAY!!! 

WE ESTIMATED HOW MANY SEEDS WOULD BE IN OUR PUMPKIN, WEIGHED OUR PUMPKIN AND FOUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF OUR PUMPKIN. 

WE COUNTED 100 SEEDS AND OUR PUMPKIN WEIGHED 15 POUNDS!!!

WE HAD A SPECIAL VISITOR/HELPER IN OUR ROOM YESTERDAY...MISS KAILEE!  SHE IS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WHO WILL BE HELPING IN OUR CLASSROOM TWO DAYS A WEEK...YEAH!!!  WE LOVED WORKING WITH HER AND LOOK FORWARD TO HER COMING BACK SOON!!

A is for Alligators

An alligator can be your friend!!! 

He likes to sing and dance!

Learning about letter Aa is so much fun especially when you can be an alligator!



A Good Day for Learning!!!

We got "rev up" at the Dr. Jean workshop in Austin!! 

Dr. Jean has a strong philosophy that children learn best by doing...you learn on your feet and not on your seat!!!  She believes the more you activate and engage children physically and mentally, the more likely the message will get to the brain and stick!  We are so excited to get back in the classroom to implement some of the songs, ideas and activities we learned. 

OUR NUMBER FRIENDS!

We love singing our "10 Best Friends" Song!

We are learning to sequence the numbers

and to recognize them too. 

Learning numbers is so much fun!

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK!!

Oh how we love when the Lockhart Firefighters come to visit!!!  We were so excited and could hardly wait for our turn to see the fire truck and the firefighters!!  We learned we need to stop, drop and roll if our clothes ever caught on fire.  We know that we need to have a meeting place at our house to keep our family members safe.  We got see all the safety equipment the fire fighters use to fight fires.  Getting to see a real fire truck up close was really awesome!!!!  Some of us want to grow up and be firefighters!!

                          

IT'S LETTER T WEEK!!

We loved learning about letter Tt and TURTLES!!! We listed all the things we know about turtles and found out that turtles are reptiles and lay eggs.  We know that turtles hibernate when the weather is cold.  They have four legs, a tail and a shell for protection.  We read an informative book to learn more about turtles too.  We even made our own turtle with all the sight words we can read...to, little, a, the, I, am!! 

Learning about turtles was terrific!

It was a Zero-the-Hero day today!

We celebrated 30 days in kindergarten with Anthony, our Zero-the Hero today!!  We counted 30 paper clips and 30 paper dogs!  Anthony loved being our Zero-the Hero!!!
