It’s hard to believe our kindergarten students are almost first graders!!! They have learned so much this year that they wanted to share their experiences with others. We hope you enjoy their slideshows of “What I Learned in Kindergarten”.

Our kindergarten students created a VoiceThread using the letters of the alphabet. Each student was given a different letter and asked to find pictures of at least 3 things that started with that sound. Once their pictures were completed and uploaded to VoiceThread, students were recorded talking about their pictures and letters.

Students in the third grade gifted cluster classroom worked together to create original movies about animal adaptations. Check out these movies:  bottlenose-dolphins,  river-otters, and pygmy-marmosets .

Students in the fourth grade gifted cluster classrooms created original videos for the different regions in Virginia. They worked in cooperative groups to design and produce a commerical, advertising the wonderful resources in each region, with the goal of persuading people to visit that region.

Tell us what you think. What region would you like to visit?
