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.
We just finished up our Angry Birds project - integrating math and science. I know I've shared a pic or two already, but I just have to show you how they turned out! I have a few students who are completely obsessed with angry birds this year, so when I remembered I had pinned nets for angry bird solids a while back, I knew it was time to pull them out. Our math unit was 3D shapes, so we were looking at nets, constructing solids, and measuring volume and surface area. Perfect. Our science unit was structures and forces acting on structures. Even more perfect. So, we got creative and combined the two. (***Note - I don't have a unit for this, or even sheets to share, as the angry bird brand is very protected by trademark laws, or copyright laws, or something like that. I am going to post pics of everything we did, and if it sounds like fun, feel free to borrow these ideas for your classroom). We first made our 3D shapes from the Angry Bird nets. You can download your own copies HERE. When students were finished constructing their solids, they had to find the volume and surface area of 4 different sized solids (since most of the solids are cubes, this step wasn't too difficult for them. To up the difficulty a bit, I required my grade 6 students to find the surface area of the yellow bird - a tetrahedron). Once we were done with the math, we decorated our shoe boxes to give our birds a home. (Also made it much easier to store all their materials, and stacked nicely in the corner of the classroom to contain the clutter. They then had to start on their structures. We had watched a few videos about types of structures, and read a few articles, and then they got started. I gave each student 30 popsicle sticks, 7 straws, 3 arms lengths of masking tape, a piece of paper, and 10 paper clips. Structures had to be 30 cm tall, have a 10 x 10 cm platform on the top, and be able to withstand the forces of gravity, hurricane winds, and a ground-shaking earthquake. They took about 2 science periods to complete their structures. By today we had finished everything, and this afternoon we tested our structures out. First we measured the height and the size of the platform. Then we turned the fan on high to simulate those hurricane winds. Then we tested the effects of gravity by placing 50g weights on top of the structures. Last, we shook for boxes for 10 seconds to see if they could take the ground shaking earthquake. When we were finished, students had a reflection sheet to answer, and the final projects were marked with a checklist rubric. Such a fun summative project! And angry birds definitely equalled happy students in my classroom. I took a picture of each of the kids with their projects, and sent the pics home with the parents. I'll leave you with a few pics of the finished projects. Happy Thursday!!!

Intelligence is a very difficult concept and, until recently, no one has succeeded in giving it a satisfactory formal definition. Most researchers have given up grappling with the notion of intelligence in full generality, and instead focus on related but more limited concepts – but I argue that mathematically defining intelligence is not only possible,
There are 93 pages with this unit. I have included activities, such as task cards, vocabulary/word wall cards, practice worksheets, daily reviews, mini-posters to teach with and/or to make a focus bulletin board, and an assessment in the unit.

We’ve been working with shapes in math and focusing on writing dialogue with the correct use of quotation marks. Have you ever noticed that when you start teaching about these that suddenly, “every” “single” “word” “gets” “them”? Ha! As we practiced identifying shapes and their attributes, here’s how we tied in our writing and practiced the correct use of […]
Sarama and Clements stress that “the importance of well-planned, free-choice play, appropriate to the ages of the children, should not be underestimated. Such play…if mathematized contributes to mathematics learning” (2009, p. 329). Recently, various materials were set up at the math carpet for students to explore and investigate mass and balance. The only instruction was a sign that read "What can you balance?" I stepped back and watched as the students immediately engaged with excitement! The following pictures document the students learning from the past few weeks. To build on the students' knowledge, we read the book "Balancing Act" by Ellen Stoll Walsh. During the reading of the book, there was a lot of discussion about the content. "It's balanced because the two salamanders are the same weight and the two mice are the same weight, so it's the same, so it's balanced." H.S. "If you take one of the mice off and move the other to the middle, the salamanders will balance." E.H. "Oh no! A frog came and she said the one with the three will go down because three is more than two and they are heavier!" R.W. "If one mouse goes in the middle and three on each side, the middle one will stabilize the scale." G.B. Some students then decided to retell parts of the book by creating their own scales and adding the characters. Reading the book inspired my own question to ask the students: "If E.S. went on one side of the scale, and A.T. went on the other, would they balance?" Mrs. Ralph "No because A.T. is lighter. Maybe A.T. and C.D. could go on one side because they are the same height?" A.M. E.S. decided to demonstrate his and A.M.'s thinking using blocks at the balance area. During our Thinking and Learning Time, I was intrigued by what E.S. was doing. I asked him to explain his thinking. He responded by telling me his was using one big block to be him, and two small blocks to be A.T. and C.D. "It will balance like this I think." E.S.

These are six shots of a demo that we do in my AP Physics class. Yesterday was the last day for seniors, so I pulled it out to play. You're looking at sand on a black metal plate attached to a machine that vibrates the plate up and down at high frequencies. Certain frequencies set up standing wave patterns in the plate. When there is a place on the plate where the waves are the greatest (an antinode) the sand is pushed away and collects in the areas where the plate is hardly moving at all (the nodes). Different frequencies produce different patterns in the sand which can end up looking quite beautiful. I took these six shots with my iPhone and combined them in Photoshop.
