We are super busy getting ready for Open House. First Grade is working on their SYMMETRY projects using Pixie 4, Kidspiration, and the Kaleidoscope app. Second Grade is working on their 7 Day of Creation movie in Pixie 4. Third Grade is working on their "all about me" newsletters. Fourth Grade is creating name animations in Paint Shop Pro. Fifth Grade is working on their "all about me" keynotes. Sixth Grade is finishing up their iMovie book trailers. It is a BUSY BUSY place!! Also -- I have recently updated the apps list page at: http://www.pinterest.com/jwagnerccm/elementary-lab-ipad-apps/ -- be sure to check it out. We have some new geometry apps! January went by so quickly -- and I didn't have time to post about SKITTLES and GRAPHING -- but wow, did we have fun. We counted skittles, gathered data from each other, loaded info into excel, created a graph, and then customized the graph. I was so proud of the students and their hard work. Here is a sample of a finished graph We also are participating in the Doodle for Google contest. All entries are due on March 17th. (This is not mandatory for your child, if they with to participate, that is great.) This year's theme is “If I Could Invent One Thing to Make the World a Better Place...”

Miss Wagner To be honest, the parent helpedrlooked at me with "really??" eyes when I mentioned that we would be taking a photowalk with our 1st Grade Students. (to be honest, I was seriously wondering if I had lost my mind too).
Before we began, I reminded the students of our rules "TWO HANDS" and made sure they knew it was a SHAPE walk not a SELFIE walk. We practiced taking pictures around the room -- had to show how to fold back our covers that blocked the camera -- and then, headed out. And took shape pictures ALL around our elementary playground, etc. One of our students asked if they could draw shapes in our "wood chip area" -- and suddenly they were all drawing shapes. After about 10 minutes or so we walked back into the classroom. I asked 1 student for his ipad and projected it up on the board -- showed students where the photos were and how to swipe through them -- and we began to play "I SPY." We started off simple --- do you have a picture with a square, with a triangle, with a rectangle, etc........ it was great to hear the excitement of "yes, I have that"..... or "I do but mine is different." etc. After about 5 pictures, I switched his ipad out with another and we continued --- but got a wee bit harder with choices -- do you have a shape on a shape, do you have words on a shape, do you have a shadow on a shape, do you have a person on a shape, do you have more than 3 shapes in one picture. And again -- the excitement of "I do" and "yes!!" Working our way through a dozen or more ipads --- we had a great class of collecting pictures & then reviewing them and sharing them. Whew, exhausting but absolutely such fun -- and next time --- we might go for a shadow walk. |
