Writing & Reading Fluently
Trapped in a SnowGlobe! After going through the writing process to final draft each child recorded themselves reading their personal story with feeling! It is fun to listen to their voices as they tried to read with inflection to make it interesting for the listener.
Social networking and Sharing- Edmodo

They have come so far since the start of the school year!

Edmodo
Took the plunge ! My students went to the Edmodo walled 'garden'. Edmodo is a protected secure educational place to connect, comment, collaborate and share content. One must be invited to participate and a teacher moderates all posts (at least I do for now). Edmodo is similar to a facebook design. Today, my students learned how to respond in complete sentences to a question that my clever Pirate character asked them about the weather. They each responded. When they saw their posts pop up on the big Apple TV screen after the hit reply there were shouts of excitement. It was wonderful for me to see a first for these kids. They each earned their first badge today!
Learning to reply to specific questions in complete sentences & reading other responses in Edmodo. Staying on topic, responding appropriately and thinking about others! The students are getting very good at responding to a daily question.
Book Reports using Scribble Press App
The children have made numerous books about a variety of things using the Scribble Press APP . This is a simple and flexible book making app. Their books can all be viewed in ibooks on the iPad as well as be printed or viewed as PDFs. It is wonderful to see the children become so excited knowing they have made a published book for their peers to see & read!
