Endangered Animals PBL

  During the past two weeks our Kindergarten and First Grade students have been hard at work researching endangered animals through a PBL experience. Our students learned about red panda bears, orangutans, tigers, elephants, gorillas, and sea turtles. They studied ways to help these endangered animals and then created propaganda to help educate others about the needs of these animals. Then, we took to the hallways and advocated for the protection of our endangered animals as we paraded through our school encouraging our Watson family to help save these animals. We also created commercials which our Watson family viewed in support of our cause. You can enjoy our parade and commercials below. 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. Here are our classroom community shows. We hope you enjoy them! Leave us a message and tell us what you think!
