Library Learnings

 Our sweet librarian, Mrs. Defoor, treated our Kindergartners to a fun moment enjoying manipulatives. They built and created to their hearts content! Thank you Mrs. Defoor for always thinking outside the box and bringing extra special adventures to our Watson Kindergartners!

Pumpkin Day

    We ended our very busy week with a celebration of Pumpkin Day. We culminated our first week of our PBL with a study of all things pumpkin. We enjoyed a story about the life cycle of a pumpkin and created a sentence strip story of what we had learned. Then, we estimated the circumference of a pumpkin and tested our pumpkin string to see if it was too short, too long, or just right, as it circled around our pumpkin. Next, we reviewed our counting skills by counting pumpkin seeds. Finally, we planted pumpkin seeds in hopes of seeing a pumpkin sprout. We had so much fun learning about pumpkins this week.We hope you enjoy these pictures from our fun day!

Country Critters Farm

    We had a wonderful time exploring Country Critter's Farm where we were able to film and photograph the farm animals that we had been researching for our research 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!
