Animal Inquiry with ChatterPix Kids

The first grade teachers at Broadwater have been teaching their students about animal habitats.  I posted an example of using the Sock Puppets app to tell what they learned.  Here is another idea using ChatterPix Kids.  Mrs. Stanaway's students also used the reading app Epic! to conduct their research.  As they listened to the stories in Epic!, they took notes in their writing journals about the animals.

Inquiry with Sock Puppets

I loved working with Mrs. Romei, Mrs. Mehling & Ms. Stanaway at Broadwater today!  Their first graders are eager to learn how to use their 1:1 iPads in the classroom!  In Mrs. Romei's class today, we practiced using the app Sock Puppets to share information learned during inquiry into animal habitats.  The students have been studying the Arctic, desert, and swamp habitats.  The students wrote their facts onto paper, and then used the Sock Puppets app as a way to share out the facts by having their sock puppets tell the information.
