Students in a K-2 class read I Spy books and then created their own version of I Spy using toy objects and VoiceThread. They arranged their toys, wrote their script, and we recorded each student. Notice their self-portraits that display as they are saying their I Spy sentences.
Fourth graders created Animoto slideshows using information we gathered together from a state book series, Worldbook Online, and Factmonster. Most students created slides with their partners using facts gathered together but a few groups went above and beyond and used other sources to gather more information. View an example of a Florida Animoto below:
Fifth graders did research on animals and created slideshow presentations using Google Presentation. They gathered information from the Nature's Children book series, Worldbook Online, and searched for images through Creative Commons image search. Below is a slideshow 2 students created on toads.
Kindergarteners are finishing up a unit on nursery rhymes. We read different versions of classic nursery rhymes from books. Students then worked in pairs to read, memorize, and perform a rhyme at our Kindergarten Nursery Rhyme Recital. All students gave a great performance! To wrap it up, we will be watching Ray Harryhausen's Mother Goose video as well as a few nursery rhyme adaptations by Kermit the Frog on Sesame Street.
