Taking Our Opinion To The Trail!

Hello!  

We can't believe this is our final full week together!

Kindergartners have been busy learning about different places in our world!  We were so lucky to have 3 different families come in and share about special places they have lived.  We learned about Poland, Italy, and Switzerland! We were taught how to sing Happy Birthday in Polish and Italian!  Thank you so much for coming in and enriching our curriculum!  

This week in Writing we read a true story called The Tree Lady.  A story about a woman named Kate Sessions who majors in science during a time when women were discouraged from studying science.  Kate ends up planting trees and plants all around San Diego and creates a lush land where once a desert was. We reminded ourselves of some of the other books we've read where people have fought for something they believed in like the book Water Protectors and Luna and Me. Later we began brainstorming problems that we have noticed.  These problems ranged from littering to world peace.  Kindergartners are amazing!  We decided to take a stand on issues that might be happening around our nature trail at school.  Friday we built signs that mostly stated a request and gave a reason.  For example, "Leave the branches on the trees because it can hurt the trees."  These messages were beautiful and meaningful to our class.  We then had fun placing them around the trail.  

Come take a walk on the trail!
