Our iPads are Here!

My kids were just super-excited after seeing the iPads on their tables.  For the first time, we do not have just an iPad center but iPads for everyone to use at the same time!

Today, we used the Doceri interactive whiteboard app for our whole group lesson, and Reading Train for our reading practice.

Here are our lessons for this week:

Kindergarten - Sight word "TO", letter recognition practice

1st Grade - Sight words, cause and effect, Cause and Effect writing project

3rd Grade - Sight words, Cause and Effect Writing Project

5th Grade - Main Idea and Details; Identifying Main Idea and Details on Snapshot app;  Recognizing verbs practice on No Red Ink app  via Edmodo

My dear students, don't forget to bundle up and keep warm!!!

Love,

Ms. Chavez
