Workstations are in full swing in Room 31! After five weeks of practice and a week with Mrs. Kurkinen distantly watching over, the kindergartners are now independently working through five stations a week while Mrs. K reads with small groups.
Math, Reading, Writing, Science and Art stations hold five hands-on activities for the students to complete. Games are used as a springboard for writing, problem-solving and cooperative learning.
Empowering students to choose which assignment to complete first motivates them to get started and ask for help from their peers when they get stuck. Interrupting reading groups is not an option. They must work together to figure out what problems they may face.
Each task requires several skills. Here, Justin and Quinn must build a farm structure out of Legos and use it as a setting in a story.
