Kinder is Thankful!

Ms. Rivera's Kindergarten Class write expository text at Thanksgiving Time and give thanks!
Kindergarten at Purple Sage have a great time using their document camera to share with families their student projects through video.  Google Drive allows them an easy way to share with the public on their websites and our Getting I.T. Right Blog.

Kindergarten's Spotlight on Learning

Kindergarten presented to our PTA their Spotlight on Learning. They highlighted their Animal Research. For Kindergarten research (including TEKS K19A & B) in Reading, students asked opened questions about their animal and then developed a plan to answer them using expository text and search engines like Pebble Go. For Writing, students used (TEKS K.20 B) students' pictures and writing to document their research. Students speak clearly and to the point. (TEK S K.22) This was a great experience and the students loved every part of it. Mrs. Mooney and her Wildcat's.

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.
