Hillcrest Kindergarten Students Interview the Experts
Kindergartners at Hillcrest Elementary School went right to the source for a research project in collaboration with the DTLs. Focusing on the social studies core that emphasizes learning about jobs in the community and school, kindergartners prepared to interview a guest “expert.” Students practiced asking relevant questions, prepared questions about the tools and skills needed for the job, and interviewed their guests: Mr. Shaw (custodian), Mrs. Aparicio (principal), and Mrs. Christensen (lunch manager).
By asking some key questions, students discovered that the custodian’s favorite tool is a drill, that students can help the principal by coming to school every day, and that the "lunch lady" arrives very early to prepare breakfast. Using the information they collected from the interviews, the students created a book for their class and their “expert.”
