Yesterday Patti Tursi, an ELL teacher, visited Kindergarten. We are collaborating with Mrs. Tursi in regards to the global goals. She is our director for our new movie we are creating.
She helped us set up the stage, learn some new vocabulary about what we need to know and we are using a real microphone to capture our voices. We hope to have this project ready in a couple of weeks!

This morning we had a Skype call with Jose from South America. He works on a Toucan Rescue Ranch. One of our families traveled there and that is why we were able to connect! Jose showed us different animals and why he is needing to take care of them at the ranch. We were able to see parrots and even baby sloths.

Why We Explore The Global Goals

The Global Goals

Today we created a video about why we think it is important to know about the Global Goals.  My Kindergarten students are amazing and are understanding the meaning of sustainability and how through collaboration we can all have a positive impact that promotes positive change.  
We want people to engage with the goals because.......
*the world needs our help
*people can learn how to share
*people can help each other
*we do not want the world to die
*we all need to pick up trash
*animals need a safe place to live
*playing outside is fun to do in nature
*we care about each other and the world
