Maker Tank Magic

Wow! I am not sure when I have ever been so impressed with our student's creativity and innovation! Our amazing children created inventions to solve a problem in their lives that has been bugging them. They researched how to solve this problem, created a blueprint for their invention, and then built the prototype and brought it to school. Today we presented our projects to our classmates and choose a winner to represent us at our school wide Shark Tank style Maker Tank Talent Show on February 2nd. Here are our friends' projects and our winner!

Bear Day

This week we studied bears during our science unit. We learned nonfiction facts about bears such as where they live, what they like to eat, and what they look like. Then, we studied fiction stories such as Corduroy, The Very Cranky Bear, and A Pocket for Corduroy. Below you can see pictures from our fun "Bear Day." During "Bear Day," we brought our bears to school and allowed them to learn alongside us for a whole school day. We also enjoyed a special "paw print in the snow" snack. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think about our special day!

Bear Day

We recorded what we knew about bears, what we wanted to learn, and what we learned from our bear 

stories. 

We used this tree map to record what bears can do, what they are, and what they have.

I Have a Dream!

This week in Kindergarten we learned about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and how he helped to change our world for the better! We read about his dream that he had for our world and learned about his many accomplishments. Then, we talked about what our dreams are for the future and what we hope happens to make our world a better place one day! Here are some pictures from our fun week and a video of us sharing our dreams with the world! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think! Share your dreams with us, too! We would love to learn about your hopes for our future world! :)

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

This week in Kindergarten we have been studying about winter in science. We have learned about what clothes you need to wear in winter, fun activities you can do in the winter, and things that animals do in the winter time. During the week we created several exciting winter art projects including winter people, winter trees, and snowmen.  Here are some pictures of our exciting activities and creations. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think of them!

In math this week, we studied about subtraction. We learned that subtraction means to remove something from a group. We practiced creating our own subtraction problems using the minus and equal signs. You can see how we made subtraction problems by illustrating a snowman losing his buttons. We also practiced writing our own subtraction problems and illustrating them on a snowman that we drew ourselves.

We were so excited to celebrate our Third Six Weeks award winners at our third awards ceremony. Miss Todd is so proud of all of our award winners, and the hard work that they have shown this six weeks! Here are some pictures from our celebration. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!
