Kindergarten/First Grade Team Teaching Loop

Our kindergarten class works as one team. Mrs. Gariboldi is the lead math/science teacher and Mrs. Parker is the lead literacy teacher. We both have a passion for working with young children and creating an environment that encourages cooperation. It is our goal to have children become life long learners!

November 7

We are embracing our surroundings! The kindergarten students have been learning about construction through literacy, and now we are studying it through math and engineering! The students are using blocks to build with. They are constructing houses, movie theaters, race tracks, even a zip line! The students are starting to draw the different shapes they see and notice the attributes that the shapes share or that make the shape different from another. For example they drew squares and rectangles to compare attributes. They noticed both have 4 sides and 4 corners but their sides looked different. We will continue to examine shapes and move into drawing what they build.
