In honor of Dr. Seuss, the kindergarten class celebrated creativity through a variety of STEM-infused studies. Creativity is an essential characteristic of a 21st-century learner who thinks outside the box to solve real-world problems. One picture book that helped us understand creativity this week was Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty. Rosie uses her imagination to create amazing creations out of recycled junk and eventually discovers she can do her best work after experiencing defeat. She was our inspiration for using our creativity, persevering, and using mistakes as opportunities to learn.
Over the course of the last three weeks, we have been learning about the basic needs of all living things. This week, we designed a product that represents some of our learning. With adult support, students read about an animal of choice and identified its basic needs. Afterward, students wrote and drew about the needs of the animal in their STEM journals. We reread our inspirational text of the week, Rosie Revere, Engineer, and discussed how Rosie designed a unique hat for her Zookeeper uncle. We decided to demonstrate our learning about animals by constructing creative hats depicting their individual needs.
Students wrote a list of needs, drew a blueprint for their designs, gathered recyclables, and created, experimented, and revised plans when things didn’t go quite right. Just like Rosie, kindergarten students persevered and experienced deeper understanding of the content within a highly creative product.
This entire process was extremely rigorous and integrated multiple reading, writing, social studies, science, and math standards as students worked within the parameters of the highest level of learning--knowledge utilization--to use what they've learned and applied in a new, creative, authentic manner to solve a problem.
We're expanding our brainpower and using it in new and creative ways everyday in K!

I can wonder. This short statement written phonetically by a kindergarten student this week reflects the attitude and confidence of a learner. We pause to consider things we don't understand yet and then take the next step to research, hypothesize, and believe our ideas have merit.
I can wonder. A simple statement. A huge impact.
