Literacy and words of clay

In literacy, the Bumblebees work on sight words, reading them, writing them, using them in sentences or paragraphs, depending where they are in the process. Here are some examples of our first clay word. Making the word out of clay is another way of connecting our eyes and hands to our learning. It adds a little kinesthetic learning to our practice.

 

Things that fly!

The Bumblebees are learning about all kinds of things that fly. On Friday they looked at airplanes to discover what makes them fly. Then they tried out different kinds of paper airplane designs and measured the distance they fly. They learned about aerodynamics and the affect of air on the lift of the plane. They were free to design and redesign any plane they chose. Here are three of the student's successes.

 

Bumblebees 2020-21!

Hello! Welcome to the Bumblebee kindergarten blog for 2020-21! We are beginning this year in distance learning and the Bumblebees are already doing great work from home. For this assignment students were asked to create something that represented them, that would tell the class about who they are. Students were free to use any medium or form of expression to tell our class about themselves. Here are a few examples of their creative and unique forms of self-expression. It's going to be a wonderful year!
