Kindergarten Springtime, KerPoof Style!

This week we've been reading a non-fiction book about the signs of spring and Jan Brett's book Annie and the Wild Animals. Students talked about the many things that happen when spring comes, including the birth of baby animals, new flowers, and fresh buds on trees. This week, the kindergarten students are creating their springtime scenes on the computer. Here are a few we'd like to share with you!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar in Sequential Order

Kindergarten students have been studying the author Eric Carle. We especially liked his book The Very Hungry Caterpillar and decided to each recreate a scene from his story and then as a class, put them in sequential order. Here is the final product and some specific scenes.

New Strega Nona Book Covers

Kindergarteners learned about the author Tomie de Paola and how his heritage influences his stories. Then, we read Strega Nona, a famous Italian story by Tomie de Paola. We also reviewed the different parts of a book and created our own book covers by using Kerpoof.

Character Traits - First Grade

First graders learned how to identify character traits in a story. Then, they wrote down character traits to describe themselves. Finally, they used a website called Kerpoof to write a complete sentence using one of their character traits.

1st and 2nd Grade Wishes

In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday the 2nd grade read " Green Eggs and Ham" afterwards they were asked to think of something that they thought they didn't like, and then tried it and ended up liking it. We then went to artpad.art.com to use word processing and paint tools to design a page about our discussion.
