Green Meadows Pumpkin Patch
We had a wonderful time exploring Green Meadows Pumpkin Patch where we were able to film and photograph the farm animals that we had been researching for our Ibook projects. Here are some of the great photos that our Kindergartners took on our trip and a show from our fun day! Enjoy! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

Fall Favorites
This week we have been studying about some fall favorites---apples and pumpkins! We had the opportunity to open up a pumpkin and see inside of it, estimate the circumference of our pumpkin, and plant our very own pumpkin plants. We have included a class picture of our fun pumpkin day and our finished jack-o-lantern as well as pictures from our circumference game, sequencing activity, and pumpkin planting. We hope you enjoy our pictures. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think.
Vivacious Verbs
This past week we studied verbs or action words. During our lesson, we decided to make a video where we acted out some of our favorite verbs. Here it is for you to enjoy! 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! Leave us a message and tell us what you think!

Technology, Transportation, and Team Work!
Wow! What a busy week we have had this week in Kindergarten! We have been studying about technology in the past and present. We learned how technology is any tool that makes a task easier. We discovered that even a pencil or crayon can be a type of technology. We learned about how in the past people used chalk to write. We enjoyed having an opportunity to go outside and try out this old technology tool. Here are some pictures from our chalk writings.
We also took time to study about how our technology tools have evolved over the years. Some of the items that we talked about included how we used to use candles and now use lightbulbs for lighting, we used to use a broom and rug beater and now use vacuums, and how we used to use a brick oven and now use conventional ovens for cooking. Here are a couple of pictures from our past and present technology sorting game that we played.
In science, we learned about transportation and the way that things move. We enjoyed reading stories about transportation vehicles and learning songs like the "Wheels on the Bus". We learned how buses can move forward and backwards, left and right, and that the windows can go up and down. We also talked about the different ways that fire trucks can move and the sounds that they make. Then, we created our very own shape buses and participated in a guiding drawing of a fire truck. Here are some pictures of our fabulous creations.
Finally, in math we studied the numbers six through ten this week. We talked about how to write these numbers and then played a game called "Snap it!" where we discovered what combinations of numbers make the numbers six through ten. We created a video of our game and took several pictures. We hope that you enjoy getting to see them below. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think of our fun week together!
