Class Survey....Please take a moment

Click here to take survey
Please take a moment to fill out this survey.  I am doing my capstone paper for my masters on flipped learning.  Flipped learning is when the lecture portion of a class is sent home in the form of a video.  That frees up class time to work with small groups, one to one, etc.  I am curious about your feelings on the video lessons that your children have been working on for their homework this year.  I want to continue to improve upon my teaching methods.  Thank you so much in advance for your time.
Mrs. Redmond

New Life and Baby Chicks

We are hatching chicks in kindergarten!  Our incubator is filled with a mixture of 12 different kinds of chick eggs.  The flip books we made document the chicks journey out of the egg.  With the egg tooth (it falls off after hatching); the chick will make a small pip, then what we call a zipper, and finally with all the strength the chick can muster, it will push its way out of the egg. The chicks are due to hatch around May 14.

Jack and the Bean Stock

After reading Jack and the Bean Stock, we planted bean seeds.  We tried planting a few seeds in a bag with a wet tissue.  We were able to see the roots growing long before we saw the stem.  Will our seeds grow into the clouds where the giant lived?  We will need more sun for that!
