Phases of the Moon!

We had such a great time creating the phases of the moon using Oreo cookies. The kids worked really hard and made sure each phase was just right! Check out our video, the kids were excited and proud of their work.  They said it was the most delicious Science lesson we have had all year! Ha ha! 

Bass Hall!

Fun at Bass Hall!

What a great time we had at Bass Hall.  Our wonderful music teacher, Mrs. Hunt,  took us to see Peter and the Wolf. It was a perfect combination of beautiful ballet and wonderful classical music.  The orchestra was phenomenal and the dancers were breath taking.  Many a times I had students turn to me with that excited, mouth wide open, in awe of what they were seeing, look.  (the best look EVER!)  Perfect Friday! 

Below is a video I titled... "If I was the Bird Ballerina..." Enjoy! 

                                  

WonderBox!

  I don't even know where to begin! This app is AMAZING!!! Our wonderful librarian asked my class if they could help her test it out.  She explained that it is not an app you can buy just yet, the creators of WonderBox wanted some students to try it out and tell them what they think.  Well I tell you what...These kiddos cannot get enough of it. It is incredibly user friendly (for kids and adults) and the way it enhances learning makes this an app that I highly recommend. You can use it any time of the day with any lesson you have. I've planned lessons with it and have even just used it on the fly...either which way... It's always added that extra umph to the lesson. Seriously... The kids cheer when I say WonderBox! I took some videos to show you how engaged the kids are when using it and also took a screenshot of some student work along with the immediate teacher feedback that was given. Hope you enjoy seeing a little of what we've done. Once they come out with the app, GET IT! I promise you won't regret it. 

                               

The above video shows just how engaged students are when using WonderBox!  It is greatness!

Here I gave immediate feedback to a student.  She was able to correct her mistake right away and send it back to me!

                                  

                   This video shows you how much the student can do using the app.  :)
