Casting Our Votes!
Our 6th grade class took time this morning to help kindergarten students cast their votes for some of their favorite things. Thanks for helping us put our preferences into action!
The polls are now open and ready for our kindergarten citizens! Our Election Day will have students casting their votes for their favorite sport, breakfast food, occupation, fruit, weather, and school subject. We will also vote later today for our daily snack and digital story.
Our votes count and so do yours! See you at the polls!
Apple Pie Roll Ups: Authentic Problem-solving in K
We reflected on this recipe individually afterward and opinions were mixed. Some students really loved it and several did not.
Having mixed opinions and reflecting on what we would change helped students learn...
*We all have our own opinions and preferences. Each should be respected.
*We should try new foods, even if we're not sure we'll like them.
*We can problem-solve together and analyze different options for the products we create in class.
*Mistakes (or in this case, less than favorable results for a recipe) are opportunities to learn. If we had all loved the roll ups, we would have missed a chance to use our skills as problem-solvers to think of alternative ingredients.
Last week's recipe provided an authentic means to learn and grow...together!
