Holiday Party

The day before Winter Break was our Kindergarten Holiday Party and Family Movie.  Unfortunately this year the weather was extremely icy and we had a two hour delay.  This left us with a very small class for our celebration.  We missed all of our friends but had a great time!!!  We made snacks(and nibbled on the ingredients), unwrapped presents, wore our comfy pajamas, and spent the afternoon eating popcorn and watching The Grinch with our families.  Here is our video we put together together throughout the day:  Holiday Party

Gingerbread Hunt

We tested our baking skills in December by making Gingerbread People.  We got together with all of our kindergarten friends and created our own gingerbread people after reading the story, The Gingerbread Man.  We went back to the classrooms and read another version of the story called, The Gingerbread Cowboy while we waited for the cookies to bake.  When we went back to the oven the gingerbread cookies had disappeared just like in the story!!!  Some of our friends pointed out that they had originally thought the story was fiction but it turns out it was non-fiction!  The gingerbread men sent us clues and we searched for them all over the school, they were really fast.  Finally those sneaky gingerbread men ran into our third grade buddies who captured them for us!  We shared our cookies with our buddies to thank them.  Check out our adventere here,  Gingerbread Hunt

We Are Thankful

Right before Thanksgiving we started to make our very first kindergarten produced video!  The kids each used the iPads to take a video of themselves or of a partner.  Once we got all of the videos they went right into our dropbox and then they were magically on our computer!  We then learned what it means to edit and voted on the style and song for our video.  We still have some things to learn but are very proud of the first video we created together!  Here is our video:  We Are Thankful

New! Blogger of the Week

This week Alanis became our first blogger of the week.  While in the computer lab on Friday she typed up a post about our week.  She used her kindergarten sound spelling with a little help from our Gingerbread clues to write our first post from a kindergartner.  Each week one of the kiddos will get to be our featured blogger of the week.

iPads are Here!

We were very excited to start using our new classroom tools, our iPads!  This week we learned how to hold them safely, how to navigate the screens, how to store them, some new technology vocabulary, and how to turn them on and off.  On our first day we explored the Photo Booth app, here are some of our creations.
