Kindergarten Photograph the Weather

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.

First Grade Advertise and Sell Through Media

First grade students in Ms. Rivera's class created a product to sell and advertise. They had the opportunity to choose their way of media to use to sell their product.
 These are the objectives they were working with:
Reading/Media Literacy. Students use comprehension skills to analyze how words, images, graphics, and sounds work together in various forms to impact meaning.
 Students continue to apply earlier standards with greater depth in increasingly more complex texts. Students are expected to: (A) recognize different purposes of media (e.g., informational, entertainment) (with adult assistance); (B) identify techniques used in media (e.g., sound, movement).

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
