Holy Smokes! Look at this kindergarten class!

Look at this kindergarten class engaged in authentic, project-based learning. They create an airport, they plan a bug's funeral, they become public speakers, they use an interactive whiteboard. (By the way, if you want to see the cutest, most hilarious thing, watch 4:00-4:13 in the video).

I don't remember my kindergarten class being this interactive, but maybe I'm wrong. Are most kindergarten classes similar to this? If you do anything similar with your young students, I'd love to hear about it in the comment section.

  1. Great video! I definitely think this will inspire many primary teachers to rethink how they can integrate technology and make their classrooms more interactive!

  2. I'd love to be able to work with only 4 children at a time and give such one to one feedback but it is not a reality. Also finding informaton at a level for young children is very difficult. Inquiry learning is the ideal but the reality at times looks very different.

  3. One has to agree with Kim, the video is indeed quite nice. Such new teaching methods will make kids look forward to going to school.
