Reflecting Through Writing

Our kindergarten class this past fall learned about the Thanksgiving Holiday and why we celebrate. Kindergartners wrote about why they were thankful and displayed through PaperSlides using their class document camera.

They also started out this new year and learned about Martin Luther King and how he made a difference. Again the students were writing on how the world could be a better place.  Both of these activities go with their Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills on History K.2:
The student understands how historical figures, patriots, and good citizens helped shape the community, state, and nation.
Kindergarten loves to share with families and friends through videotaping the kindergartners to see their growth in learning.

Retelling by acting out main events-" Goldilocks and the Three Bears"

Kindergarten is working on retelling or acting out important events in a fairy tale.  

They are also working on listening and speaking.  Students are to speak clearly .
Students are expected to share information by speaking audibly and clearly using
the conventions of language. It was a great experience for the students.

Scavenger Hunt for Measurement

Kindergarten students learned about how we measure and why we measure. Students directly compared attributes of length, area, weight, and capacity.  They had fun hunting for objects to compare!

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
