Assignments and 5 October themed journal pages.

brainstorm page

This unit was originally created for grades 3-6, but I've had teachers of younger grade levels use this and love it too. With my update, I created differentiated writing pages so it can be used will all grade levels K-6.

This will be a quick, fun drawing activity. Then, we'll share our pages in small groups because you know your students are dying to talk about what they did the night before.  



I'm loving the Hello FontsMoffatt Frames and KPM Doodles!





Then, we graphed whether or not we thought spiders were scary! We used the free app on our iPad called Doodle Buddy



We recorded our results on Cara Carroll's cutest recording sheet {here}.






And then we wrote an opinion piece (Common Core Opinion Writing) about if we were afraid of spiders.  We supported our opinion with 2 reasons why! 





We also wrote an informational piece on what we learned about spiders and you can see how we did that {here}. 




Then, we did some of these in math! We are working on counting on and counting back, so our equations are simple. 






Screen Free Fun!

The creators of Beyond Tablet reached out to us and wanted to know if we'd like to test their product. As a mom of 3 little kids, I am concerned about the amount of screen time my children are exposed to, so I was immediately interested in this product.

When the Beyond Tablet arrived, my kids were immediately excited to play. My kids are in 3rd grade, 1st grade, and preschool and the best thing about the Beyond Tablet is that it's differentiated! There are games for each of my kids to play, and they all have different levels. Even my 3 year old loves playing! (And if I'm honest, it's fun for me too! Ha!)

           

What is Beyond Tablet?
Beyond Tablet is a screen-free, multi-user, and kinesthetic learning device. Children will immerse themselves using multiple learning activities via the overlay activity maps that bring curriculum to life.
The board itself arrives with four musical games and has a capacitive sensing and object recognition surface, providing soothing haptic feedback to the senses. The value added is when the activity maps and manipulatives come together to provide a unique collaborative learning experience.
Children will challenge themselves to reach new levels in mathematics, literacy, programming and musical games that bridge the gap between the curriculum and the confidence children exert while using digital items. Veiled rigor combined with organic academic opportunities through play should be a part of every classroom center.
