Music Around the World--A Christmas Edition--Week 3--Latin America

  What a fun day we had in our third day of Music Around the World--A Christmas Edition! We learned about Latin America and the exciting music that this country has to offer. We were introduced to two of their favorite instruments the guiro and the maracas. We also enjoyed two of their favorite songs, our Christmas song, "Feliz Navidad", and, a traditional Latin American song, "De Colores." Check out our video from our fun day and some of our favorite pictures.

Float Your Boat

   This week we learned about Christopher Columbus. We studied about his contributions to our history and the many explorations he led. Then, we enjoyed an exciting STEAM opportunity where we created our own boats out of recyclable materials and tested them to see if they would float. Check out our amazing boats and a video of them in action:

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 are some pictures we took 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 iPads telling why that building was important to our community. Then, our Kindergarten families came to school and enjoyed our Classroom Communities with our Kindergartners. Here are our classroom community shows. We hope you enjoy them! Leave us a message and tell us what you think!
