1. #Kindergarten students made observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface. Then designed a zoo that would help keep animals cool on a hot & sunny day.

2. We have been growing grass & keeping data on how many inches it has grown.

@AmberAwx came to @CVschoolofInq to teach #kindergarten students about weather and how to be safe during storms. #STEM #WeatherObservers

@CVschoolofInq is excited and thankful for the amazing @realmadrid items that were donated and shipped from Spain. Our students love soccer (football) and are excited to show support for their favorite club.

#Kindergarten students are enjoying spring. We planted grass and documented our observations about the weather in our journals. #messylearning #weatherstudy @MysterySci

How can we, as Doctors, learn about the human body, so that we can help people?

#Kindergarten students planed and created casts to help heal broken bones. #STEM @PLTWorg @cvtigersKA #KindergartenDoctors

At math centers from yesterday, we had domino addition, creating 3D shapes with toothpicks and clay, and the AMAZING, @IndianHillsJH iCare student's, who played with pattern blocks and read math stories to us. @CVschoolofInq #math #kindergarten

What a fun week in #kindergarten we had a guest speaker from @PolkCCB. Ss learned about animal tracks, and their fur.

We used #collaboration & @scratchjr to developed algorithms. Ss taught others about animals and their habitats. @PLTWorg #coding #STEM @CVschoolofInq

[Mr. Coppola's Kdg. @cvtigersKA]

Ss created an Ormie, then explored with different materials to help Ormie reach the cookie jar.
The group in the gif created an elevator out of craft sticks and pipe cleaners. We had a lot of fun learning together.

#Kindergarten Ss used #communication #collaboration #creativity & #CriticalThinking to solve a problem! We watched a video about Ormie the Pig trying to get cookies off of the top of a fridge. (Video link below) https://t.co/QsXJObgdxu

#Kindergarten Ss #collaborated in writing today. They were in groups of 3, each had a job. One was a writer, another was an illustrator and the last was the iPad researcher (looking up farm facts on @EpicKidsBooks). #agency @newtechnetwork @CVschoolofInq

#Kindergarten Ss learning about #collaboration We created a concept map then worked with a partner to draw a picture. #PBL @CVschoolofInq @newtechnetwork

#Kindergarten students became #engineers, & shared their thinking/plans with their group. They #collaborated to solve a problem using 'pushes and pulls' @PLTWorg @CVschoolofInq #PBL

[Mr. Coppola's Kdg. @cvtigersKA]

#kindergarten students started the day writing sentences about their #PWIM poster, which is a picture from the story "The Mitten" In the afternoon we read the story "The Gingerbread Boy" then started our project of creating a gingerbread house. It was a fun Friday!

@CVschoolofInq #newtechnetwork how you would use a bulletin board in your classroom.

[Mr. Coppola's Kdg. @cvtigersKA]

@CVschoolofInq #newtechnetwork This caught my attention!
