Hello!
It has been a long time since I've blogged about our days in Kindergarten! I hope you have all stayed connected through Seesaw, as that seems to be the easiest way to communicate our daily happenings at Osgood! Please let me know if you need help connecting to your child's online learning portfolio!
This month we've been doing some fun science and engineering projects focusing on Structure and Function. We read Jack and the Beanstalk and discussed the structure (what it looks like) of the beanstalk, as well as the function (what it does). Our challenge was to build the tallest beanstalk we could using the engineering and design process. We also worked on making the beanstalk strong enough to hold an egg. It was SO fun!
Here is a peek at the start of our project.
We also read The Three Little Pigs and discussed the structure and function of the houses that were built in the story. Once again, we used the engineering and design process to build a house that could withstand a strong gust of wind. Check out the videos!
Collaborating with our partners...
House of bricks
House of sticks
House of straw
This is such a fun time for the kids to be creative and collaborate with their peers. It is also SO FUN for me to step back and watch these smarties in action!
We will continue this coming week with a paintbrush design, and follow with Forces & Motion next week! Stay tuned!
