Hi, I am Ms. Treml and I am getting ready for my 8th year teaching kindergarten! I absolutely love laughing and learning with my students everyday!! I also love sharing my ideas with others and I look forward to gaining new ideas as well! In my free time, I am usually reading other teaching blogs, reading a good book, creating new projects for my students, enjoying the outdoors, and spending time with my wonderful family and friends!
Every year we have a school wide fair, and this year we decided to do a Habitat Fair. Kindergarten was lucky to research the pond habitat! To assess the student's learning at the end of our unit, I had them create a pond habitat diorama out of a shoe box. They created a setting and added modeling clay pond animals. They added so much detail and did a wonderful job explaining the animals in their habitat. The dioramas turned out so adorable that I decided to have the students turn their habitats into a "claymation" and on our classroom blog they wrote about what was going on in their "claymation". You can view the claymation below.
The students also created virtual ponds with many pond animals on www.kerpoof.com. We then added them to a VoiceThread project. The students created their virtual pond into an addition word problem. I posted the VoiceThread on our classroom blog and the students had to write the addition equations as it played on a wipe off board. The students said they even quized their parents at home
