We dove into the question Who am I? by drawing pictures of things we love to do! We also talked about how our families are a HUGE part of who we are. We read an amazing book, "A family, is a family, is a family" and talked about how there are all types of families! We drew a picture of our families when we were done :) Both of these art pieces will be on our All About Me! culminating poster for this "Who Am I?" project. Ms. Arzani is working on our favorite foods and our home with us in art class! |

We are diving into our first kindergarten project, Who am I? The driving questions of this PBL project are "Who am I?" and "How are we the same?" and "How are we different?" By the end of the project, we will expect our kindergarten students to be able to: ~ speak audibly and express thoughts, feelings and ideas clearly. ~ ask and answers questions in order to seek help, get information, or clarify something that is not understood. ~ describe familiar people, places, things and events and with prompting and support provide additional detail. ~ look at and acknowledge a speaker. This week, we read lots of books this week that helped us think ~ What Makes Me, Me?. During our learning stations, we reflected on this question and created drawings to communicate to our classmates who we are. We focused on our favorite things to do! This art piece will be used as a component of our "All About Me" poster that we share with the class. In addition to looking inside ourselves, we are also looking out at the world and see how we are the same as and different than kids around all over the world. We will read books and talk about some ways that all kids around the world are the same (they all laugh and cry, they all have hearts and love...) and different (they speak different languages, have different names, live in different places and have different colored skin...). Assessing our listeningWe have been talking about what "listening" looks like since day 1! We had a fabulous opportunity to put our listening to the test this week with the Book It! performance group coming. Before the play started, I introduced the formal listening rubric and told them that I wanted them to pay attention to their listening during the play. When the show was over, we came back and assessed how we did! We will be using a LOT of rubrics to assess ourselves this year, and this one is just the start. Self-reflection is so important for these little ones.
