Reflecting on a Great Year of Kindergarten

 All we really need to know, we learned in Kindergarten!  

This was an amazing year of growth in SO many ways. 

 

We learned the power of CREW by spending lots of time together playing, solving problems, doing hard work, failing and spending LOTS of time outside.




We learned the importance of high quality work and making the world better by integrating service learning in our learning expeditions and celebrating EL Better World Day!

We built great relationships with our YO (Younger and Older Buddies) from Ms. Chelsea's 3rd grade crew.  We learned about listening to feedback, revising, and learning from others!


Our Crew learned so much about field work and experts. Students learned by doing the authentic, hard work of scientists.  We appreciated ALL the time we spend outside!


We practiced, reflected on and persevered to collaborate together.  We collaborated to solve problems, teach others, create, play and have fun.  We learned we are better together.



Most importantly, we learned to take care of each other and show compassion.  We learned to ask questions to understand how and why we are different.  We learned to be kind, respond instead of react and listen.  
I hope this year in kindergarten was a great start to a great life because "All your really need to know, you learned in kindergarten!"
