Hero Week

This week we celebrated Hero Week (Helping Everyone Respect Others) by learning about ways to be a good friend. We created Super Hero friend masks and our motto was "We are SuperHero Friends who Fight Bullying until the end!" Here is a picture from our SuperHero Day and a video that we made using the Chatterpix app where we tell ways that we can be a good friend. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

Firemen Visit

Today we enjoyed a visit from our local firemen! They did not get to stay long because they were called away to help someone, but here is a show of what they taught us while they were here. Ask your child about Stop, Drop, and Roll and about having a meeting place outside of your house in case of a fire at home. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think of our show!

Nouns

We have been studying nouns this week in Kindergarten. We have learned that a noun is a person, place, or thing. We participated in a movement game where we sorted ourselves into three categories around the room based on what picture we had pulled from a noun pile. Then, our students had the opportunity to go around the school and find items that were nouns. Finally, they we able to move their pictures into a Keynote presentation for you to enjoy here on the blog. Let us know what you think about our show by leaving a comment.  Enjoy our pictures from our movement game, as well.

Third Week Highlights

We have been studying about our community helpers. We had an opportunity to meet some of our community helpers and learn about their jobs. Check out our pictures of our special guests below! Our students also created a Keynote presentation which shows them dressed up as the community helper that they hope to be in the future.

Finally, we enjoyed a day with our grandparents this week. In honor of Grandparents' Day, we created a slide show which includes the music that we sang to them that day and pictures from our event. We are so very thankful to all of our grandparents who attended! We hope you had a wonderful time!

Second Week Highlights

We have been working hard this week on our numbers 1-5. We have learned a fun song for each number and have been singing away as we learn to recognize, write, and count using these numbers. We even made our numbers out of playdough. Check out our pictures below! In addition, we have been talking about ourselves and our family. We created avatars that look like ourselves. We then compared our eye color, hair color, etc. and talked about how we are alike and different. Please enjoy our show from this week. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think.

First Week Highlights

We had so much fun the first week of school! One of our favorite activities was hunting for the gingerbread man around our school, as we learned about the different locations we could visit here at Watson. We did not catch him, but we did get to enjoy some of his edible friends that he left for us to snack on. We took some time to get to know our new friends and created a slide show of our pictures, once we each had a chance to take our picture using the Ipad2 at recess. We also learned about what it means to be a friend and what it means to be a bully. We created popplets using the Ipad2s to organize our thoughts on what it means to be a friend or a bully. Finally, as a culmination activity at the end of the week, we created a list of our ten favorite things about school. Please take some time and enjoy our projects from this first week.
