The Terrible Tickle

We have been using the iPads to practice reading aloud with fluency and expression.  The children could choose to record themselves reading the latest poem as part of our reading rotation.  They practiced reading the poem to themselves two or three times before using the iPad to record and listen to themselves.  Listen to the Shirley, Shubhreet and Hayzel reading their poems and let us know what you think.

The pig and the cookies

We watched a video of a pig who really wants a cookie, but there is a problem . . . the cookies are on top of the fridge and the pig can't reach them.  Take a look at the video to see what he did.

Once we finished watching it we talked about the ways we might have gotten to the cookies.  Some of the children than wrote stories about the pig and the cookies.  Take a look at the published stories below.

My Sparkly Dragon, by Shubhreet

Here is another dragon story, this time written by Shubhreet.  Her dragon is very big, I think I might be a bit scared if I met it.

Welcome Back!
