Outside Adventures

 

I love when we get to leave the walls of the classroom to explore, discover and play.

Outdoors, kids learn perseverance skills by trying new, hard things.

Outdoors, we learn how to care for our crew members and help them when they need it.

Outdoors, we get to explore, ask questions and look for new things.

Outdoors, we forget about store bought toys and use nature to have fun!

Outdoors, kids learn to love nature and grow confident in their abilities.

We are authors

In kindergarten, we have been working hard to follow the workshop model to grow smarter as writers.

We persevered to write our first book.  Kindergarten authors are using high quality pictures to tell their stories.

Students reflected on their own books and thought about how they got smarter as writers.

We used both our high quality checklist and our kindergarten writing rubric.

Finally, we celebrated our writing with our crew and set goals for ourselves.
