We Need to Catch Up!

 It may be hard to find a through line here but I'm feeling the need to share so many snapshots of life and learning in Room 28.  Let me take you on a walk through the last few weeks to make sure I capture some of the moments that may not fill a whole post on their own, but nevertheless are worthy of sharing.

Do you remember our tree tapping event a few weeks back?  Well, here's a look at us enjoying some classroom made pancakes.

Around that time we checked in about all the ways we liked to eat maple syrup.

At the end of March we used chromebooks to solidify understanding about the names, values, and pictures on coins. Here you can see a student "clicking and dragging" to show what she knows.

It's SO clear that the children are growing by leaps and bounds.  You can literally see it happening outside...

And inside...

And in a health lesson with Miss Smith that highlighted just how capable these Kindergarteners really are.

Of course Pre K and K are just the beginning at Orchard, and seeing the fifth grade play gave our students a glimpse of some of the things that are possible when they get older.  As did watching the fifth grade model rocket launch!

Back in the classroom we've been focusing on measuring in math, natural resources in science, and wrapping up our readings of Gerald and Piggie books with posters for "made-up holidays" inspired by Piggie's "Happy Pig Day".

Whether working independently or with a friend, Kindergarteners in April are feeling comfortable and capable.
