'Mindfulness is a simple and very powerful practice of training our attention. It's simple in that it's really just about paying attention to what's happening here and now (i.e. sensations, thoughts, and emotions) in a non-judgemental way. It's powerful because it can interrupt the habit of getting lost in thoughts, mostly about the future or past, which often generates more stress on top of the real pressures of everyday life.' The Mindfulness Project

Howdy! I am Mr. Greg from The Kindergarten Smorgasboard. My real name is Greg Smedley-Warren. I have been teaching for 11 years. I spent a year teaching fifth grade, two years in second grade and am now in my 9th year in Kindergarten. Kindergarten is my passion and my calling but honestly, that wasn’t how it started. When I was moved to Kindergarten (not voluntarily!) I called my mommy and cried. But on the first day, I fell in love and knew that Kindergarten is where I belonged. I have remained in Kindergarten ever since. I plan to never leave the classroom as the kids are what drive me to continue my growth as a teacher and person.

Well the cloud inspectors I made were a bit hit with my firsties! I wanted to use them yesterday, but it was such a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky! We crossed our fingers this morning for afternoon clouds, and we got a few! We ventured outside to inspect clouds with our official cloud inspectors! Yep, my kiddos know the 3 main types of clouds, but this inspector shows them all different types. The poem we added to our poetry journals this week (FOUND HERE) explains what Cirro, Alto, and Strato mean. The kids just loved observing the clouds and determining what kinds of clouds were in the sky. We saw a few cumulus clouds today, some cirrus, and some cirrostratus clouds!

This year I am going to do some personal inquiry projects with my students. You've heard all the names.... Genius Hour, Passion Project.... I'm calling it what it is, and that's personal inquiry. Personalized learning is really at the heart of the new BC curriculum and I'm doing my best to dive right in. My bestie teaches across the hall from me and we're planning on team teaching personal inquiry to better meet the needs of our students. I can assist with inquiries I know more about, and vice versa. If we have students with similar inquiries, we can pair them for collaboration and feedback. We want to make sure that when we begin, students will have some understanding of what it means to inquire. Sadly, many students aren't provided many experiences to be curious and investigate. We wanted to give them that experience to connect back to once we begin. We decided to go with this: Humpty Dumpty - Did he fall or was he pushed? We had so much fun setting this up! We decided to go full force and even dressed the part. We each wore blazers, dress shirts, and ties. Crystal had the hat and glasses and I had a huge magnifying glass. From before school even started we had kids talking, wondering, whispering about what was going on. We were the buzz all around the school! The Setup This activity was set up in the multi-purpose room so we could keep it secret until we were ready for it. We created a brick wall using a cardboard box. We wrapped it in brown bulletin board paper and just drew the brick lines on with a Sharpie. Humpty Dumpty's chalk outline is drawn on the floor with a chalk pen. Turns out our floor is not level as the egg was running away! We dammed it up with the egg shells after I took this photo. Oops! We marked the area off with tables from the room and then cones and Caution tape. The tape is from the Halloween section of the Dollar Store, so it's got a spooky font, but it worked. Only one student commented on that. The clues were... 1) Humpty Dumpty's remains 2) A banana peel 3) Vasoline 4) A whisk 5) Boot prints (we painted the bottom of a boot with brown acrylic paint and stamped it on the floor) 6) A shield, sword and toy horses (for all the kings horses and all the kings men) 7) A chef's hat 8) A princess dress The Investigation The story we told is that as two broke teachers we rent the multipurpose room out on the weekends for some extra cash. This weekend, something bad happened and the police needed our assistance to solve a mystery. We set everyone up with a clipboard and paper before entering. We told them ahead of time that they needed to be quiet at first, so they didn't influence anyone else with their opinions. They were just to observe and take notes. Students used words and pictures to assess the scene. We asked them, "What do you see? What do you wonder? What do you think?" and after about 15 minutes of investigating we began to discuss. We made a t-chart that read "intentional" on one side and "accidental" on the other and students gave us their evidence to support both ways of thinking. We set them loose to observe again with their new thinking. At the end, they had to form an opinion of what really happened. There were many detailed descriptions with lots of evidence, but I especially enjoy this one. Before wrapping up, we asked the students if they were to continue the investigation what next steps they would need to take. They told us things like comparing the boot prints to those of students to see if they were suspects, sending the egg to a lab for DNA testing (haha), talking to specialists, and checking to see if the school had security cameras that could give us more information. Next week, when we begin to talk about the inquiry cycle, students will now have something to link back to. We plan on making an anchor chart with "Traits of an Investigator". We can remind them of how they were curious, and how they investigated further. We can link back to the fact that they had questions and took steps to investigate those questions. Although personal inquiry is not a murder mystery, there are many similar steps. It took less than an hour to set up and we investigated for about an hour as well. Take down was super easy and was completed over recess. Wanting to start up or spark up personal inquiry in your classroom? I'm sharing 11 anchor chart posters to help guide the inquiry process.

Get your children to put on their investigation hats to see if they can work out which adjectives match which animal using this set of 17 pair cards. . We have used these cards in loads of different ways from a whole class activity to a child practicing their skills individually with a quick game, take them and be imaginative! Here are a few ideas you may want to use: Individually - Ask the child to match the adjectives to the correct animal. - Use the child to describe the animals using good adjectives, using the cards as prompts. Pairs - Individually place all of the cards flat down on the table. Take it in turns to turn over two cards, if they are the correct pair you get to keep them, if not you must turn them back over. The person with the most cards at the end is the winner. - One child has all of the adjectives cards and the other has all of the picture cards. The child with the adjectives cards starts to read out the adjectives on at a time, once the other pair works out which animal they are describing they get to keep both cards. See how many adjectives do they need to be told to collect all of the cards. Class - - Give one card to each member of the class (you may need to duplicate some if you have a large card). They must walk around and find their matching card. We find this works well to bring a lesson to the end or to get the children out their seats and burn off a bit of energy!
