Day 10 - We've Been Busy Bees - Mrs. Farrand - Memorial School Grade 2

This post first appeared on Mrs. Farrand's Blog

It was so great to meet most of you on Wednesday night! Thank you for coming! I am having a great time getting to know my students!

We have been learning about nouns all week and started learning about verbs today. They completed fun activities. We even learned a song about verbs too! 

We also began talking about what makes a great personal narrative and what good manners look like in school.

We began Topic 1 in Math and worked on turn around facts. We also read the book Two of Everything and wrote magic pot problems. Ask your child to tell you about this awesome Chinese Folktale. We also played fun games called Make Ten Double It. 

This afternoon, we started learning about amphibians. They seem very interested! :)

Have a great weekend! :)

Day 96 - First Grade Book Reviews - Mr. Murphy - Fox Hill Library/Media Specialist

In first grade we’ve been working hard on our book review projects. Step one was selecting a just right book and reading it. Step two was to write about what you learned and what you liked about the book. Step three was typing it up in the Book Creator app.

Once students completed their typing, it was time to get creative! Using the Book Creator app, kids designed the layout of their report, decided on background and text colors, decided on the font they liked the best, decided on their text and picture size, and decided on the placement of all these elements on the page.

These are just two of many fantastic examples that show students using their iPads to display their learning in a new, exciting, and creative way!
