Lovely Landforms
We have been learning about landforms this week during our Social Studies unit. Some of the exciting landforms that we have been studying are mountains, hills, plains, deserts, oceans, rivers, and lakes. We had the opportunity to build hills and mountains out of play dough, and we created lakes and plains out of graham crackers, blue icing, and goldfish crackers. Finally, as a culmination project, we created our own landform paintings using watercolors. Here are some pictures from our fun week! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think about our landform creations.
Socktober
During the month of October, our Kindergartners here at Watson participated in Kid President's Socktober campaign where he encouraged others to do something kind for your community by collecting socks for the homeless. The socks that we collected were donated to the Friendship House here in our community. Here is the music video that we created in celebration of our successful service project and a few pictures from our fun day! Enjoy! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!
Fancy Farm Animals
During our study of farm animals, our students created Ibooks where they were able to showcase their work from their farm animal research project. As a part of that study, the children took videos of the farm animal that they were studying while on our farm animal trip. Here are their videos for you all to enjoy! I have also included pictures of the cute farm animal art projects that our Kindergartners created after meeting their animals in person. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think about them!

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!
