VIDEO: Kindergarten: An Incredi-Bull Rodeo
Throughout the year, Kindergarten students have been preparing for their “mane” event… the annual Rodeo! To get ready for this special day, students visited Urban Farm to learn about caring for animals and farmer/rancher life. Kindergartners also went to the National Western Stock Show in January to see what a real rodeo is like and to celebrate Colorado's agricultural heritage.
In addition, students collaborated with their Tinker Time, Writing, and Music & Movement classes to complete projects before the big event. In Tinker Time, students read books about challenges that farmers and ranchers face and designed inventions that could help. For writing exercises, Kindergartners wrote short stories about what their ideal ranch would be like, what rodeo event they would participate in, etc. In Music & Movement, students practiced their songs for the All-School Assembly where they eventually introduced themselves and their stick horses using their cowpoke names.
