The Kindergarten students at MES have been working hard on our technology components of the curriculum for the last couple of weeks, especially discussing machines and how they are used to help people get jobs done. We talked about how we do chores around the house and how some chores are fun and others not so fun. Wouldn't it be great if there was a machine to do our chores for us? What would it look like? What kind of parts would we need to create that machine? After a few ideas were discussed, we cut loose with different sizes of square paper and some old jigsaw puzzle pieces to build a machine that would help us complete a job we don't like to do. The students jumped right on the task and began planning out their machines and gluing pieces of paper to the page to complete their machine. After some gluing, we busted out the construction paper crayons (and some spakly ones too because machines are usually very shiny!) to add the details to their projects. Take a look at some of the pics at the Kindies hard at work.
