Mrs. Weisbrod's Kindergarten Class
Rosholt Elementary
Rosholt, Wisconsin


The kindergartners enjoyed Autumn. We visited The Benn Nature Conservancy, collecting treasures from the forest floor for nature bags and nature collages. Five things most commonly seen by the class on the fieldtrip provided the substance for the group constructed Kid Pix graphs. The digital camera was used to photograph “hands on” graphs of pine cones, leaves, pumpkins, and squash. The two activities coincided beautifully with our math unit on graph construction.
