Flipchart Trial

 I tried a letter sort flipchart and the kids understood what to do, but the edit mode made it hard for them to work it. The letters would sometimes go behind the box, or the edit features would pop up while they were moving a letter. I would want to save this where they couldn't get to the edit mode.

I posted this yesterday to my CLASS blog!  Ugh!!!!

Free Space ~ Storia App

Storia on the iPads has replaced the tape recorder listening center.  It tracks the words and reads the story to the kids.  LOVE IT!!!  Pages with lightening bolts have extension activities if extra time.

Free Space ~ Using iPads

Kids are using iPads to record each other or themselves in the book nook.  Boys and girls read from  their "just right" bag of books.  They then record themselves telling the title of a book that they read, their favorite part, and why that part is their favorite.  They bring the iPad back to our class meeting and share the video with the class as their finished product.  They love it and I love it.
