Shapes, leaves, and etc...

Kindergarten is continuing to learn and explore in STEAM.  Last week, the students learned all about SHAPES!  First, I did a read aloud called "The Greedy Triangle".  Then, the students used pattern blocks to create fall images with SHAPES!  What are pattern blocks?  They are wooden shapes.  I borrow mine from our Kindergarten team.  Here is a picture of what the blocks look like.
I got my print outs from this webpage and place them in clear binder sleeves.  I used pumpkin 1, apple, scarecrow, bat, and spider images.  Then as a wrap up, students listened to "Color Zoo".

1st and 2nd grade are exploring LEAVES!  Week one was watching a video from Sci Show Kids, reading about leaves and fall on Pebble Go, then time to go on the computer to explore Pebble Go Science!   As a wrap up, the students explored and watched a video from Maine Foliage. 

Look for more information later this week for week 2 of leaves information :)

3rd and 4th grade learned how to use Office 365 and created documents about what they want to learn in STEAM this school year!
