Penguin Research Culminated Through Technology

Students in Ms. Mooney's kindergarten class generated a list of topics they wanted to learn about. 

Students then chose one topic, Penguins. The class gathered facts about penguins.  The students then drew a picture and wrote a caption for each fact they learned. When they finished, they completed a Paper Slide to show their completed expository writing. 

Please enjoy.

Sole Mates in Kindergarten

The Kindergarten Activity, Sole Mates, had kindergarten students comparing two foot prints of different lengths, theirs and a classmates, and using comparative language to answer the problem:  Which foot is longer, shorter, or the same. 

Mrs. Mooney's students had a great time completing this assignment. Watch the paper slide video that they created as a way of presenting their work.  Kinder Foot Book
