The Kindness Quilt by Sofia Tesfaye
In Mrs. Katz's kindergarten class, some important learning was going on. Mrs. Katz and her class did all kinds of activities. Mrs. Katz started the kindness quilt when she noticed that some children were saying mean stuff to one another. Mrs. Katz said, "Teaching children about kindness is very important." A few children didn't even realize their acts of kindness! The kindness quilt is a fun way to learn about kindness!
                          
 
App Smash by Avery Marcini
       Do you know what an app smash is? An app smash is when you use two apps or more. We did one in our "I Am Grinchful For..." project. These are the apps we used: Chatter Kids, Camera, and Seesaw. First, we took a picture. Next, we went onto Chatter Kids and we uploaded our picture from the camera app. After that, we spoke in to it and then it looked like the Grinch was talking. Then we uploaded it to Seesaw. Then, we posted it on Seesaw. For the last part, Mrs. Slatt used the QR code from Seesaw to make our project accessible through a QR code. And that, my friends, is how we did our app smash!

               Hayshire Children Learn Science                                               
  • Children learn through experiments and hands-on learning.
 
 
  • Children learn through experts.
Examples are our virtual field trips and skyping with experts-- just recently learners in the blue team skyped with a scientist in Antarctica to learn about penguins.

 
  • Children learn through problem solving.
Example from third grade - During a Mystery Science activity called Why Are Some Places Always Hot, the learners were in 3 different groups and used a Climate Decoder to find out what the climate was like for 3 different regions in the world.  The groups' findings were used to create a climate map. 
 
  • Children learn through reading.
QR codes or beautiful hardback books in our library.

 
  • Children learn through design thinking and teamwork.
 
  • Children learn through an integrated approach to learning.
Examples- snowflakes in weather and 6 sides in math, maps in social studies and landforms in science, writing in all content areas
