iPad: Week 14 - PicCollage

I LOVE PicCollage and I love all of the different ways that I can use it in my classroom. One of the ways that I am using it this week is to showcase student's Christmas break. It is SO easy with Apple Classroom to share pictures with students, and for them to share their work with me. Here are a few of the pages that I've received.



I have this simple template for download in my TpT store for FREE! It is a great intro activity for your first day back. You could also review iPad rules before completing this. Once I had all of my students submissions, I put them into a slideshow (which you can easily do straight from your iPad or with Google Slides/PowerPoint) and showcased them the next morning so that all the students could hear about each other Christmas Breaks.

This template is made to be used with PicCollage, but it also comes in a PDF format that you can print and distribute to your students. If you don't know how to use PicCollage, check out my how to resource.

If you use this, let me know how you like it!

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...

Fire Safety Week Resources

Next week, October 8-14, 2017 is FIRE SAFETY/PREVENTION week! I think that there is always a way to tie in these kinds of ideas into something that you are learning. Even if you aren't teaching it the entire week, teach a mini lesson or show a video before/after a special or first thing one more and have a conversation about fires and how they are preventable.  Do you have fire drills in your school? Discuss why you do those and why they are so important. Do you have a back up location to go if your first one if compromised? One time, when the alarm goes off, tell your kids that your first location is compromised and head for the second location.  Here are a few resources that I have found that I think are helpful for teaching about Fire Safety: Fire Safety Rap Video   Video About Fire Safety (Interview with Firemen) Fire Safety "What Ifs?" Easy Fireman Hat Fire Safety Activities And OF COURSE - Fire Safety Snacks!! Fire Truck Crackers ...
