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.
Green Meadows Pumpkin Patch
We had a wonderful time exploring Green Meadows Pumpkin Patch where we were able to film and photograph the farm animals that we had been researching for our Ibook 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!

Music Around the World--Christmas Edition--Week 3--Latin America
What a fun day we had in our third day of Music Around the World--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.
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 of our "Fight" song. 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!
