Video chatting with every single one of my Kindergarteners ❤️ They love showing me their toys and rooms 😂 My little partner/coworker is here to help too 🐕 #ClosedNotClosed
I do these every year...but to change it up our Kindergarteners did it with their 4th grade research buddies! ❤️ The way they worked together was something special. Thank you Mr. Bilger’s class! #teamwork#researchers#buddies#Kindergarten#fourthgrade
Never too old to wear pj’s and make gingerbread houses! We are researching #ArcticAnimals (yes my pj’s have all of them on it) and we read the Gingerbread Baby! At the end of the story the boy catches the gingerbread baby in a house! #creative#Kindergarten#gingerbreadhouse
Challenge: Can you make a building by using 3-D shapes? Some of our buildings were falling so We had a quick mini lesson on “scaffolding”. We ended up using Kleenex boxes and other items to hold it up! #architect#kindergarten#engineers#inquiry#kinderscan
Here’s to my 8th year teaching! I am now embarking on a new adventure with a new school, Simis Elementary. I’m ready for these little inquirers!! I’m totally rocking my lab coat all year. #kindergarten#firstdayofschool
Challenge: The Lion and The Mouse want to teach the hunter a lesson. Can you trap a human hunter by using a pulley? #STEAM#Kindergarten#engineers#pulley
It’s testing time!!! What a fun way to incorporate STEAM and Coutung coins. 1) Make a Catapult 2) Create a target 3) Fling Money 4) When teacher shouts “SHOW ME THE MONEY!” They count what they have. 😂 #STEAM#Kindergarten#Catapults
The Janitors probably hate me but today we are testing our ramps!! I gave the students a choice to test for speed or distance. Let’s see what observations they will see today! 🔬 #steam#Kindergarteners#Engineering#simplemachines
Happy Valentine’s Day! Of course we HAD to create our own card box. Some students got creative where they put handles on them and even wrote “open here” so their classmates will know where to place the cards 😂#Steam#kindergarten#Valentines2019
