Updated Padlet for Project Lead the Way

As we continued exploring the design process, we added some more examples of the step "model" to our padlet.

PLTW Design Process

We began exploring the Design Process of Project Lead the Way today, using the "Jack and the Beanstalk" engineering challenge.  Today we asked questions and sketched our explorations.  Tomorrow we will use pipe cleaners to "model" our ideas.

Created with Padlet

100th Day Snack

The kids diligently counted out 100 snacks before they could eat ... :)

100 Year Old Portraits

The kids made these cute 100 year old portraits.  Here are a couple of examples.  (Ideas from Mrs. Jump's blog.)

A couple great games for 100th day on abcya.com

100th Day!

So far, 100th Day is off to a great start!  The kids made 100th Day Capes (an awesome idea from Mrs. Miner's kindergarten) and we counted to 100 using Harry's Kindergarten Counting Superheroes song!

We also planned out how to make 10 groups of 10 toppings on our "hundredth day pizza"!  The kids are making some yummy looking paper toppings.  :)

The kindergartners enjoyed this video about Counting to 100 by JoJo's Circus.


We also played "Guess My Number" using the Counting Board app on our iPads.

Football Day!

The kids had a fun time on Football Day!  All of our activities were football-themed, and we had yummy football donuts from Makayla and football cupcakes from Tailyn.  Seth and Jace, two RMC football players, came to our room to talk about how to work and play hard.  Then, they played catch out on the playground with the kids.  We graphed our Super Bowl predictions and made a cute quarterback art project.  :)

Making 10

After practicing making 10, we completed a worksheet and then filled in "how many more do you need to make 10?" on the 10 Frame Fill app.  The kids are doing a great job with this hard concept!
