​PK-9 students have been learning about patterns. We went out in small groups around campus to look for patterns in our environment and children photographed these patterns with the iPad.  After selecting which photographs they wanted to share with their classmates and parents on the Pk-9 website, we uploaded the pictures into a slideshow. The students’ homework was to have parents check the website to see the slideshow and to look for patterns in their home or garden and have parents email these photographs to the teacher.
After about a week, we looked at the photographs the children took with their parents and shared the photographs with the rest of the class on the overhead projector. Children explained to their friends the patterns they found, saying:

  • "Estaba en el cumpleaños de mi mami y buscamos patterns." -Dario, 4 years old
  • "Estaba contando las rayas y viendo los patterns." - Maria, 4 years old
By looking for patterns outside of school the children find significance in the learning that is taking place and the home-school connection is strengthened. ​

​In K7 students have been using technology to enhance their learning about trees.  Students watched various children’s videos about the parts of trees, about animals that live in trees, and about different types of forests.  Students were able to use the Smart Board to draw the parts of a tree and drag words to label these parts. Students used the classroom iPad to take pictures of leaves and of a tree dwelling. They used these photographs when writing descriptive words about trees and creating a classroom tree display.
