Exploring the Giant North America Map- Visiting American Symbols

 

On Tuesday, June 1st we took a trip around North America in search of American Symbols! Our 4th grade partners were our tour guides and taught us relevant information and they quizzed us on our knowledge of American Symbols. We traveled with our suitcases and passports and we collected stamps in our passports and coloring souvenirs of all the places we visited. We had so much fun engaged in our social studies curriculum. Thank you to our 4th grade partners. We could not have done this project without all your help!

Animal Research Projects

Yesterday we had our animal project viewing party with our 4th grade partners. The students did a great job on this major research project and to celebrate together and applaud each others efforts was really a worthwhile experience! Great job kindergartners and 4th graders. Below are our Animal Videos. We hope you have time to check them out!

Guidance Lessons

Ms. Kendall, Pine Glen’s school counselor, came to our class weekly after we transitioned to a full day schedule. Ms. Kendall and her intern, Miss Green, helped us with identifying feelings, zones of regulation, expected vs. unexpected behavior, personal space, mindfulness, belly breathing and other life skills.

In this lesson the students were focusing on Feelings, recognizing them and how to work through the different feelings with calming strategies.

Butterflies

 We have been learning about butterflies. We learned about the butterfly lifecycle, made stained glass butterflies and tie dye butterflies, and we have been following the butterfly life cycle by watching caterpillars turn into chrysalis'. We have been patiently waiting for our butterflies to hatch. Two of our butterflies hatched but both had deformed wings and did not survive to be released. Hopefully we will have better luck with the remaining five pupas.
