Dinosaurs!

 The Bumblebees and Ladybugs have been studying dinosaurs during May. Here is work from several different Kindergarten students that they have submitted from home over the course of the month. I am so proud of all the work the students have been doing at home and how clearly they are progressing even in this strangest of school years. Here you see a dinorama, a Stegosaurus (both from information we received from the Burke museum at the University of Washington), a dinosaur habitat, a footprint Tyrannosaurus Rex and an example of the facts that students came up with each time they studied  a new dinosaur.

Community Helpers

Bumblebee and Ladybug students worked hard and learned a lot in the month of April about community helpers. Although they were all at home they were able to take virtual field trips and talk to live people on their Zoom meetings who work in specific jobs. We are so grateful to the professionals who took time out of their day to talk with the students about their role in the community. Although no one thinks that distance learning is ideal, we are all making the best of what we have and students are still learning and growing and excelling at Seabury in every way. We are so lucky to have our community. Here are some of the reactions students wrote in response to their studies about Community helpers

Triangular prisms

 Another Bumblebee hard at work at home. I am so proud of this student (and all our students) working so hard from home and so grateful to his family for guiding him and submitting his work, so that as his teacher I still feel like I have an awareness of his progress.  Even in the beautiful summery weather we have had our students remain diligent in getting to their work in a timely fashion.

 Here is a triangular prism he has created at home with his examination of triangular prisms writing in the background.

 He is seen here doing a beginning division story problem in math that was all about money. Great use of manipulatives to help you in your work!

 A better look at his written work about the triangular prisms.

And finally his Serape glyph which gives us lots of good information if we know the code!

Hard work at home

Another of our busy Bumblebees seen here working from home. The above picture is bridge building. He designed and built his bridge from items he had at home. As an added challenge he tested the bridge to see if it could hold weight. It could!

In the picture below he used recyclable materials at his home to create something new. This is his bird feeder. His plan is to test it with real birds and then determine any changes that needed to be made. Great work Bumblebee!
