Activity 2 of @PLTWorg - Nature Walk. We went outside & used our schema of living things & made observations about what we noticed outside. We found a lot of different plants, seeds, & insects. We used magnifying glasses to get a closer look, too! 🐝🌿🌱🔎 #science #pltw #kinder

Project Lead the Way in kindergarten!! We started last week & have been learning abt living things. Ss collaborated in groups, decided how to sort their living things, & presented their findings. Come by & ask us if you want to know more information! #pltw #CriticalThinking 🐘🌻

When you have a day where there’s an opening in your schedule, you think of a project to work on! After much collaboration & questioning we decided on Roller Coasters. My Ss have an amazing schema, check out their ideas below!! #STEAM #STEM #PBL #teachers #Kindergarten

[Ms. Gates✌🏼 @MsKGates]

@theceostyle Thank you!!

[Ms. Gates✌🏼 @MsKGates]

Our focus for 2022 is how we will be better humans. My Ss took 2 mins to really think of how they can make this world a better place & how they can be better. They collaborated by making a list & then chose 1 goal they really want to work on & wrote about it. #NewYear #goals

[Ms. Gates✌🏼 @MsKGates]

@LisaGWalk @CenterSD @teachergoals I miss working and learning with you!!

[Ms. Gates✌🏼 @MsKGates]

As the year 2021 comes to an end, I can’t help but to reflect on how awesome my Ss are. I am so thankful for my nuggets. Here’s just a few pictures to show how much we’ve learned this school year & our class thankful tree before/after pics. 🤍✨
