Had the pleasure of going to the art show @SVVSDFineArts, and was truly amazed by the creativity. A huge congratulations to all of the talented artists, but was super proud of a student in my class that received an award for his piece. If you haven’t already you should go!

These kindergarteners have turned into some amazing meteorologists! I am constantly blown away by their work. Whole group we work on a tree map listing what we know about the type of weather. They then work independently to draw and write their weather report.

I am so amazed with these wonderful writers. We have been learning about how to be an illustrator, and today we brainstormed different hairstyles and created a circle map. They then practiced the different hairstyles by drawing a self portrait.

That’s a wrap on Project Launch! I love being able to extend their learning and explore new things. To celebrate the end, we created light-up plushies! It was such a fun, hands-on way to explore circuits.

This week, we dived into Africa’s vibrant culture through literature and hands-on activities! After reading "Ladi’s Pots," students sequenced the story with a flow map and, together, crafted a pot using the steps. They became the experts and taught the class how to craft a pot!
