Students transitioned through digital learning stations to learn nursery rhymes. Students used a graphic organizer with images to write down the title of the nursery rhyme at each station. Upon completion of writing the title on the line, students watched a video about each nursery rhyme and collected a small book. By the end, students all had 6 books of the nursery rhymes they learned about.

I completed my Stations using 7 Board builders. Students rotated among the seven stations every 15 minutes. Students had to watch letter video, write words to complete an acrostic poem, and the assessment is to collect a piece to create a foam Santa ornament.
The Santa Boards can be found on the District Content page in Discovery Learning. Look under 4K DEL folder and under Christmas.

I tried a Vocabulary strategy with my 4K class.  It turn out to be an amazing strategy.  The purpose of this strategy is to pre-teach vocabulary.  Since my students are learning vocabulary we choose to use the strategy as a listening experience.  My class has been exploring Halloween and learning to write a describe new experiences. I videoed the students responses.  We discussed the steps before we watched the video.  I made a Board builder with directions, video, and the words I wanted my students to listen to.  The student were very interested in the video and listening to video to  hear the key words.  We will use this strategy again.

Here is the link to my SOS Vocab  Hunt Board Builder.

This padlet was created to display several digital stations about Shapes. Each station was created using Discovery Education Board Builder.  Students will visit there learning stations: Rectangles, Circles, and Squares to learn and gather additional information about these shapes. At each station, students will be provides with a video to watch, they will have a writing assignment, and collect an artifact.

I had the wonderful chance to try this Strategy with a combination class of 3rd grade and 4K students. The third grade students were practicing for a poetry test. We made a Board Builder  to review the poetry terms the 3rd graders had learned. The 4k students were introduced to new poetry terms during the review.  The enjoyed the discussion with the 3rd grade students. We began by reviewing the terms. Then we practice the vocabulary scavenger hunt with a video of a poem from Discovery Education. Student reviewed how to listen and clap when the keywords are used. Both classes participated in this process.  After the video we review the poetry terms and identified them in the video. I cut the stanza'a out of the video to have a visual clue for all the students to review the terms. We then transitioned to how the 3rd grades and help the 4k students. We began buddy reading by combining 3rd with 4K kids. The 3rd graders read Curious George books to the 4k students. The older students were told to look for rhymes and to ask questions to each student as they read.

Mrs. Sue Bennett thought the lesson was good for both classes. The students enjoyed reading with each other. We have agreed to try working together soon.

4K 1/22/18 Today was a very successful day.  During  small groups, student used Seesaw Activities to take a letter recognition assessment.  Students had to follow a two step direction by choosing a color and circling the letter the teacher called out.  The activity gives me the evidence is student know colors, and letters.  Each assessment was quick, reliable, and parent could see how their children are doing instantly.  The assessment was posted on each students personal digital portfolio.

My students are beginning to learn about rhyming words and how to identify the beginning sounds of words. We choose to use Bee Bot Robots to help students learn the rhyming words. I made a board that had pictures that rhymed with small toys I had in the classroom. Students would pull a toy from the bag and find a picture on the board that rhymed with the object. Students could work together to find the rhymes. After they found the rhyme students would program Bee Bot to locate the rhyme. Bee Bot boards where also made to find beginning sounds.

Students learned about different careers in our community. We learned about 8 business in our community. Student traveled around 8 different iPad station during a 2 day session and worked their way through Board Builders on the 8 communities.
Students had to watch a video in each station, they traced the business Title and the assessment was for each student to pick up a copy of the building at the end of the board.  Students then came together and we built a map of our community and put our own homes on the map.

This Learning lab included Listening skills, writing, organizing, map skills, Communication skills and following directions.

This was a busy lab, but very productive.  Here is a sample of one of the boards. https://tinyurl.com/ybtb5kwrSample of one of the stations. Students writing sampleCopy of one of the student maps.

I have two teacher in my classroom. My class rotates between 4 small groups. Two groups are teacher lead, the third group is students working on iPad's independently, the fourth group now works collaboratively on the Promethean board using an app from Microsoft Store.

The students like to work on  the app called Kindergarten Kids Learning.  Students had to learn how to take turns, follow someone, and to wait their turn.  They had to learn how to get help from a class member instead of a teacher.

This app has a random section where students can work on different things at the same time.  We work on number and letter recognition.

My students love working on this app during free center time also.

I will post pictures on Wednesday to see how ti turned out.  Remember we will celebrate our Failures, but we are not planning on  failing, we are going to have a great experience.

Ok, 8 hours after our first Readers Theater in 4k.  It was the 10th day of school and they children did a great job.
I used a Board builder to place a Scholastic movie about Chicka Chicka Boom Boom .  We watched the movie and them discussed the lines children would say.  I had 5 speaking parts and the chorus which was the whole class.  As the  students would come to their parts they would put the letters on the drawing of a palm tree on a white board.
Everyone had fun and we will try this again.

Student are learning how to drive Sphero robot.  We decided to paint Jackson Pollock pictures.  We used Sphero and ran it through three colors of paint.  The pictures were put together to make our masterpieces.  Students then wrote a "How To" piece to explain how we created the painting. This is our bulletin board for both classes.

We used Sphero to practice counting by 5's. We used a shower curtain and attached sleeve protectors. We inserted numbers by 5's. Students had to draw a card, then they drove Sphero to that number and followed it by counting by 5's three more spaces. Students now play this game during center time with a partner.

Students practiced math fact by bowling with Sphero. Students had to practice the math fact by figuring out how many pens they knocked down and how many are left out of 10 pens. The bowling alley is open daily for students to use during free time . They work in groups of two to play bowling. Students learn programming skills, math skills, and cooperation.
