Kinder Kamp 2011-2012
Extended day kindergarten program
Somethings we did during the year.
During the year, we worked on academics along with physical, social, and emotional aspects of the child. There was a lot of hands on learning with large group exercises, small group collaboration, and individualized activities based on students' readiness skills.
Bringing in the community
We learned how to care for pets by bringing in an adult and her rabbit.
Writing the room
To practice reading and writing skills, the students were able to go around the room and write things that they chose.
Chi Chi Chia
We planted seeds, cared for, and grew "chia heads" then gave them haircuts before taking them home.
Reading Buddies
On Fridays, fifth grade buddies came in and read with the kindergartens. At the beginning of the year, the fifth graders read to the kindergarteners. Then as the students became ready, the kindergarteners read to the fifth graders. This was a great bonding and learning time as each student shared learning and gained confidence in their skills.
