My Prezi

As this is my last project, I wanted to say how much I enjoyed this project and this course. This project seemed easier than some of the other 40 pt. projects. Either that or I am just getting better at technology and the computer! I am very excited to use what I have learned in my own future classroom!

I chose to use the Utah Core Standard for Kindergarten: 
Standard I Objective I 
Describe and practice responsible behaviors for health and safety.

Here is the link to my prezi:

Being responsible for your own health and safety

Kindergarten Newsletter

I chose to focus my newsletter on our Social Studies unit. I am focusing on where the children fit in to their world. We are learning about maps and the globe, the city, state, country and world they live in. This is just a simple example of how the children can expand from their home to their family, then on to their city, state, and country. Below you will find the link to our newsletter for this unit of study.

Kindergarten Social Studies Newsletter

I found this to be an easier project since I have preciously used Lucidpress for another project but it was still pretty time consuming because I made it three pages and it was fun playing around with the different setup options.

Using Animoto to create my video of "The Five Senses"

I wanted to teach the Kindergarten Core Science standard "Describe parts of living things; Differentiate between 5 senses and related body parts. Gathering and arranging the pictures just right can be a tedious activity to make a good presentation, but it was enjoyable. Adding the music made it flow nicely.  I did learn quite a few ins and outs of the Animoto program which helped me get the video together. I would use this program again.
