From Seed to Pumpkin

The students used the ABCYA Animate App on the iPad to show how a pumpkin grows.

Here is a cute YouTube Song.

Chicken Popplet

Our Harcourt story this week is Dan's Pet so we learned about chickens, drew them and then created a chart in Popplet.

Edible Ants

We made edible ants and then labeled them using

 the Pixie app on the iPad.

Monet Frog Art

We drew frogs in the Pixie app and then used the Superimopse app to fuse them into a Monet art piece after reading:

 We put the picture into the Pic Collage app and wrote three facts about frogs.

Root Beer Float Science

 

 

We learned about the States of Matter by making Root Beer Floats. We labeled them using the Pixie App.

This great idea came from Common Core and so Much More.

The Four Seasons: Student Books

 

 

My students loved making their own online books in the Scribble My Story App. We wrote about the four seasons.

The students can edit, save and record themselves reading their story. The app stores the books so they can go back and read it again and again.

This is a great tutorial on how to create a scribble book:

 

 

You can also take a screen shot of the students work and put the pictures in PicStitch to create one photo:

 

 

 

 

How to take a screenshot on the iPad

Butterfly Life Cycle Snazzy Snack

 

 

The students made an edible version of the butterfly life cycle. We used the Educreations app to label it. I found the butterfly at our local party store. I used candy pieces so they could put the head, thorax and abdomen on and then the wings.

Frog Facts in Story Form on the iPad

 

 

This is my attempt at a how to draw for frogs.

My sample:

We drew and painted frogs and then wrote frog facts. Each student chose a fact for our class book. I took a picture of their art, recorded each students voice in the Chatterkid app and then uploaded them to the Book Creator app. They are two very to use apps and the students LOVED the video. They wanted to watch it a hundred times.

 

Here is our class book video:

 

 

 

 

 

These are the two easy to use apps I used to create this book.

Take a picture of the art. Add a line where the mouth is and then record the students voice. You can save it to your pictures and then add it to Book Creator. Its helps to use one iPad for this step.
