November Newsletter.

Can you even believe that fall is here and that Halloween has already passed? We are in full holiday time and I couldn't be more excited. How many of you have already starting Christmas shopping!? I know I have (even though my husband think's I'm insane). Well I just wanted to stop by and share with you some of the new products that I have in my store.

This year, I got a new job as the iPad specialist (of sorts) at my new school. I am working on so many great iPad 1:1 activities, as well as lots of Digital Resources and my regular Webquest favorites. I share about what I am doing in my classroom with iPads very often on my blog. Check it out if you to see iPad tips, digital resources at work, and tips and tricks for your classroom.

These are a few of the products that I am most excited about:

This bundle has 9 character qualities that the students should exude and has webquest links and iPad focused activities to learn about each one and show you what they have learned. There is also a link to a Kahoot to see how much they learned, as well as a YouTube channel link to show videos about the qualities. I introduced a new one each week for the first quarter of school.

This GROWING bundle pulls out all the stops for my 1:1 iPad classroom. There are tons of activities for students to complete in many different apps (most of which are free). This is your one stop shop for incorporating technology via iPads in your classroom!

There are some great new Digital Resources that I have added to my store that are worth checking out! These digital resources are to use with Google Slides which will download as a PDF with a link to the Google Document. These resources includes interactive activities to complete in small groups, or individually, as well as a webquest to learn about the topics at hand.

If you like to use webquests to teach about more holidays like Thanksgiving, then grab my bundle with resources for almost every holiday. It has over 100 pages of webquests with some fun bonus ones added!

Or just grab a few to use with the specific holidays you had in mind.

Enjoy this cooler weather,

As we prep for Halloween, I wanted to share with you some super easy costume ideas that I have found that I think our students would enjoy.

Build Your Wild Self {Animal Adaptations}

Build Your Wild Self was a site that I just stumbled upon, but was probably one of my students favorite activities that we did all year. Basically, students are able to create themselves by playing with their body, hair, eyes, mouth, clothes. They can then make themselves "wild" by adding headgear, ears, face, arms, bottoms, backsides, and tails that are all body parts of wild animals. This activity isn't all fun though - there is educational value too! Once the students are done creating their "wild self" they will click I'M DONE. This will take them to the next page where it will explain to the students what is "wild" about them. It will tell them where their wild parts came from and why those parts are important to the survival of that particular animal. So there you have it - educational and a ton of fun! Just wait to see what kind of creatures your students come up with! It will be entertaining, I guarantee you that much. Try it ou

Dot & Dash - Programming Robots in Lower Elementary

Last summer I was prepping for a summer camp with a programming focus and wasn't finding everything that I needed through websites. What parent wants to pay for their kids to come to camp for 4 hours a day for them to sit in front of a computer the entire time. Even I get restless staring at my computer for that long! I knew that I wanted to keep that programming and coding focus while getting students out of their seats and moving around. Now there are SO many robot choices out there, but I was looking for ones that would run on software that was easily accessible, work on tablets or computers that we already had, and that were reasonably priced. We settled on these and do not regret it. There are apps that we installed on our class devices that are super easy to use. I had first graders using them within minutes of handing the devices over. We used the Go app to start to figure out the robots, and then built from there. The Go app basically just lets the students drive
