Kindergarten - All About Me Webs

Over the past few weeks kindergarten students have been exploring with Kidspiration.  This week they completed All About Me Webs to share with you at home.  To guide them we introduced a checklist to monitor their progress towards completion.  The criteria for printing was to include the following:

1. Your Name
2. One of your Favorite Foods
3. One of your Favorite Activities
4. One of your Favorite Animals
5. A Least Five Items
6. A Least Five Labels
7. Arrows Connecting your Web

Check out some great examples of work that was completed.  It was so wonderful to watch our students share and learn about eachother!  

In April & May,  students throughout the grade levels have been using Kidpix to publish various projects linked to learning across the content areas.

 Second grade has worked to publish their understanding of a DIVISION number model and create a number story and picture to accompany it.

First Grade has been learning about typing and how to use their left and right pointer fingers to type on the left and right and side of the keyboard. They have been using several typing links (see the list to the right) to help familiarize themselves with the letter placement on the keyboard. Then they publish their learning, while practicing typing, using the tools that Kidpix has to offer. This was also a great review for saving to their classroom folder. 

 Fourth Grade, in preparation for MCAS, utilized a number of online dictionaries and glossaries to become familiar with a math vocabulary word and concept. Then, using Kidpix, they created a "kid-friendly" definition for their word. We linked the definitions together by class in SLIDESHOW mode, and then created a class math vocabulary quiz to practice all of the words.
