Thanks so much everyone for all that you do and continue to do for Kindergarten.  It has been a wonderful year learning alongside all of you.

Exploring Sustainability @CSSULearns

We had an amazing morning today!  We visited CVU which is a high school in our district.  We visited Mr. Dave Trevithick's classroom where we were able to share our documentary and also hear about all of the projects that the juniors and seniors were involved in around sustainability.

This week we have been busy finishing up special projects.  We have been designing a Kindergarten poster, creating paper cache animals that are part of the Global Goals, Life On Land and writing letters to our new teachers.

Outdoor Classroom Day!

Today we celebrate the importance and value of exploring the natural world.  It was fun to see others in the world who like us, care about nature and enjoy learning outdoors.

Creating A Documentary: Global Goals For Sustainability

Today Mrs. Tursi visited Kindergarten to speak to us about our documentary that we are creating.  She shared that a documentary is a film, but a film that is real.  Mrs. Tursi will be teaching us a lot of new vocabulary used when creating a documentary.  She helped us create our filming studio today.

The children are so excited.  Mrs. Tursi is our director.  We will begin filming later in the week about why the Global Goals are important and why everyone needs to be involved.

DonorsChoose

Thanks to DonorsChoose and other kind and generous people in the world we now have new Mo Willems books, puppets and a game!  We also have many new books by Jon Klassen, the author who visited WCS. The children now have additional opportunities to use their oral language to retell a story.

Global Goals!

Mrs. Tursi has been in Kindergarten facilitating small discussion groups about the Global Goals.  This week she used unified cubes as a way to represent each child's idea.  She shared: "We had more ideas together than we would have alone.  We built our ideas into a tower using unifix cubes!  See how many ideas we had to share about Global Goals. We had more ideas together than we would have alone."
