Welcome Back Everyone! We hope you all had a relaxing and great winter break. We wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New year!
The Kindergarten Class has begun to learn all about The Solar System. We created an I Wonder chart to see what we want to know and what we wonder about.
The students really enjoy this song about the Solar System! Click the link below if you’d like to listen at home.

In addition to the above, in the computer lab,we are working on our reading skills using the website Starfall.
Feel free to access this website using the link below to explore Starfall from your own homes/devices.
This year for my Professional Growth Plan in Kindergarten I am exploring how to use Flipgrid as a Platform for Homework in Kindergarten. FlipGrid is a really great tool where you can create videos around a question or a topic. Flipgrid is a very Kinder Friendly Technology Tool to use.
Our first step will be to learn how to use Flipgrid in the class. Once we are comfortable with the process, we can begin to use it for homework at home.
I have begun the process by meeting with our Technology Specialist Teacher, Melissa Thompson, and I am becoming familiar with how to set up a classroom with our own passwords, etc.
One of the ways I plan to use Flipgrid in the coming month is by having the students upload a review of a book they have read at home (with your support) by answering a few basic questions on the Flipgrid.
As we become more comfortable using Flipgrid at home, I hope to use it for Math Problem Solving Questions.
I look forward to having your feedback on my new journey so that we can make this an exciting and meaningful way to have our learning from our classroom to our home come together. As we all know one of our North Stars is We learn better Together.
