Week Ten: Bb/Ll, Numbers 11-20, Landforms, and Spiders/Squirrels
This week in Kindergarten we will enjoy learning about letters Bb and Ll, numbers 11-20, landforms, and spiders/squirrels. We will also enjoy Movie Night and Party with the Principals this week. Finally, we will be testing for report cards. Please see the attached homework page for what to review this week with your child in order to be prepared for report card testing. Thank you!
Living Things
After learning all about what makes something living, our students had the chance to choose an animal from our farm animal field trip and have that animal explain what makes him a living organism. Using the app Chatterpix, they created videos to show you what they have learned. Here are some exciting videos of their creations:

Kindergarten Classroom Communities
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 MacBooks in Photobooth telling why that building was important to our community. We used the Aurasma app to link our videos to our buildings. Then, our Kindergarten families came to school and allowed our Kindergartners to teach them how to use our iPads to view their videos. Here are our classroom community shows. We hope you enjoy them! Leave us a message and tell us what you think!

Transportation Projects
After studying our community, we thought that it would be fun to create our own new mode of transportation. As a home-school connection, our Kindergarten students made a new transportation vehicle at home and then presented them at school. Wow! Our Kindergarten students are so very creative. Here is a show we made to showcase their hard work. We hope you like it! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!
