Sock Puppets!

I accidentally came across this App on our iPads, and it is my new favorite!!  (Thanks to Rozena, who had me searching out Apps we could use to work on our writing!)

We had so much fun creating our own Sock Puppet shows about Needs vs. Wants on our iPads, and we even taught our Kinder Buddies how to do it!

In this project, each student independently chose his/her sock puppet characters, designed their "set" and performed the dialogue between both characters.  They only have 30 seconds to record, and if they mess up, they have to start all over, so you can imagine it can be a time-consuming process!  :)

I am including all the puppet shows that were finished; if your child's doesn't appear, please tell him/her to finish it during Daily 5 so I can upload it!

Enjoy it!

Showing What We Know With the iPad: Regrouping

A few weeks ago, we practiced our addition with regrouping by explaining the steps involved.   The students were asked to demonstrate their knowledge on the iPad App: Show Me, which records your voice and your drawing simultaneously.  I think you will be impressed to see the students' hard work and their awesome explanations!

NOTE: Not all students finished this activity or may have been absent...if they would like to create a video, tell them to remind me when they have free time.  I would love for every student to show off their "Show Me!" :)

Click the student's name to view their Show Me video...(In no particular order:)
