Summer Book Club!

Duck! Rabbit! Padlet

The Amy Krouse Rosenthal author study for week 2 of the BPS Book Club focuses on the story Duck! Rabbit!  This is a very short, simple story about differing points of view, and is fun for readers of all ages.

To share our perspectives on this book, I worked with some first graders at Beartooth to make a collaborative Padlet.  Click "Read more" to see how we did it!

Scribble Press Deluxe Stories in 2nd grade

I was excited when Ms. Miller from Eagle Cliffs asked me to come help with a lesson in her 2nd grade classroom using Scribble Press Deluxe.  This app was FREE a couple of weeks ago, and many of you had the opportunity to have it installed onto your iPads.  (If you didn't, and you want it, email Deana Elder and ask her to pretty please it install it on your iPads!)  I had used the original Scribble Press, which I liked, but wasn't happy with the sharing options.  So I was super excited to try this one out!
