Kindergarten Career Day Skype Session

We had the privilege of Skyping with Mr. Koch, a biologist, for Career Day here at Watson. He shared with us about what he had to do to become a biologist, some of his favorite things about his job, and some of the places he travels as he does his job. He also shared some of the tools that he uses at work with us. Here is a video of our time together and some pictures from this fun day! We hope you enjoy them! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think.

Transportation Projects

After studying our community, we thought that it would be fun to create our own new mode of transportation. As a home-school connection, our Kindergarten students made a new transportation vehicle at home and then presented them at school. Wow! Our Kindergarten students are so very creative. Here is a show we made to showcase their hard work. We hope you like it! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!



Classroom Community

Our Kindergarten students and teachers are so very proud of the amazing classroom communities that our children built. During this class project based learning activity, our students learned that our community needed all different kinds of places, people, and things. We created five different categories of buildings that we needed. There were buildings for communication, safety, entertainment, health, and travel. Our students then chose a building that they thought was important and created it for our community. Then, we made a video on our MacBooks in Photobooth telling why that building was important to our community. We used the Aurasma app to link our videos to our buildings. Then, our Kindergarten families came to school and allowed our Kindergartners to teach them how to use our iPads to view their videos. Here are our classroom community shows. We hope you enjoy them!
