<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll be the first one to admit that when we started distance learning I was sorely lacking in knowledge about many of the digital resources that are out there! I decided I would dive head first and learn all I could. Many of the resources I tried were more appropriate for older students and seemed to lack engagement factors that our youngest students so desperately need. However, I found that Google Slides activities were perfect to get students learning, give them hands on practice, and keep them engaged. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Here are the three reasons why YOU should try using Google Slides with your students!</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ha ha ha! Who am I kidding? Digital Learning is HERE yall! Even before distance learning became a necessity, our students were working on computers and tablets almost every day. Technology has become an important way that we teach students and an important way that students interact with and learn from the material. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Students are exposed to technology everywhere they go, so it's no surprise that technology has become a teaching tool as well. Google Slides can be used on computers and tablets. If you are using a tablet, you will want to download the app. I've found that the Google Slides activities can get really glitchy if I'm not using the app on a tablet. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If your students are brand new to using a computer or tablet, no worries! Even your youngest students can access Google Slides with a little bit of help. Utilizing activities made for Google Slides will help students learn to drag & drop, click, use the keyboard, and more! </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Engagement is a fun buzzword that has become commonplace in the education world today. We know what engagement is and we know why it's important, but how do we keep students engaged? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Google Slides activities are made to be engaging. Students will not simply be clicking through slides aimlessly. Google Slides activities require interaction in many ways. Some interactive activities will ask students to drag and drop items into the correct places. Some activities will ask students to click on the correct answer. Some activities will have students listening to content and responding in some way. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's important to point out that while activities are FUN and engaging, students are also learning. I have <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/K-Is-For-Kinderrific/Category/ALL-DIGITAL-RESOURCES-430578?utm_source=My%20Blog&utm_campaign=AllDigMay2020">Google Slides activities for math and reading</a> that are appropriate for K-1 students. Yes they are fun....but they are also great practice for students in those basic skills we are all working on! </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's true! It may seem overwhelming at first, but I promise you that anybody can get the hang of it with just a little practice!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Google Slides is kind of like Powerpoint....for Google. LOL. You have Powerpoint Slides and Google Slides. Seems simple but when I first started out, I had no idea what Google Slides was or how it was used or even how to access it. Most of the functions that are available in Powerpoint are available in Google Slides and you will find the interface very similar. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are two main ways I use Google Slides activities in my classroom: Present Mode and Edit Mode. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiprmzEDwiMQW7_GMOwZLSm6rwF8jw4gfOBLFb8C-dv7EY6XV4hTZNNZcQ8e5hpOZDWb_atcmDN-gp1KqnVXuvfKMgBE1Wg-MOZeH5NcIIhjrH7W_yP-QiwKIwRXIrfxiFWjYPLXq86ZgE/s1600/Screen+Shot+2020-06-05+at+2.36.16+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="520" data-original-width="1600" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiprmzEDwiMQW7_GMOwZLSm6rwF8jw4gfOBLFb8C-dv7EY6XV4hTZNNZcQ8e5hpOZDWb_atcmDN-gp1KqnVXuvfKMgBE1Wg-MOZeH5NcIIhjrH7W_yP-QiwKIwRXIrfxiFWjYPLXq86ZgE/s640/Screen+Shot+2020-06-05+at+2.36.16+PM.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The slide above is shown in EDIT mode. If you want to change to PRESENT mode.....you would simply click the Present button that is circled. (think of this as the play presentation button in PPT)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">So in EDIT mode, students will be able to drag and drop items. There may be moveable pieces that students will interact with. There may be spots where students will need to type. </span><span style="font-size: large;">After students finish working through their slides, you can either check them right then and there on the screen OR you can have students turn them in through Google Classroom for you to check. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">All of these types of activities need to be used in edit mode, since in presentation mode, these moveable pieces would not be moveable. Here are a couple of Google Slides activities I've created that are designed to be used in </span><i style="font-size: x-large;">edit mode</i><span style="font-size: large;">:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In PRESENTATION mode, students will be interacting with the slides but there will be no pieces that move. Students will be clicking on things in the presentation and then will be directed to the next slide.

<span style="font-size: large;">Are you ready to start using Google Slides in your classroom? My best advice is to just dive in and start seeing what all you can do! Google Slides are a great way to add that technology piece to your classroom activities in whole group, small group, or even independent work stations. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I do have a FREEBIE that you can download and try out to get a feel for things. It's a scrambled sentence activity that is designed to use in EDIT mode (so don't hit that PRESENT button lol). </span></div>

Let's face it....things are becoming more and more digital every day! And our youngest learners are no exception when it comes to needing access to digital learning in the classroom!!<br />
<br />
I've started creating digital centers that are designed specifically for K-1 students! These first sets of centers are perfect for those of you who are just beginning to introduce your students to digital learning.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><u>NOT FAMILIAR WITH GOOGLE CLASSROOM?</u> </span></b> No problem! You can use these centers on any computer/tablet that can run PowerPoint!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>LOVE GOOGLE SLIDES?</u> </b> </span>Great! You can upload these centers into Google Slides and have students access them that way!<br />
<br />
Each center allows students to work at their own pace and work independently. Each center has its own recording sheet where students will write their answers. There is a slide at the end of each center that allows students to check their work. Of course you can remove this slide if you wish!<br />
<br />

Now if you are a teacher who is familiar with Google classroom....these next centers are for YOU! These digital ELA centers are designed to be accessed in Google Slides and students will use PRESENTATION MODE to interact with the slides. The great thing about these centers is that they are self-checking and students can work through the slides independently!<br />
<br />
This set includes beginning sounds, ending sounds, middle sounds, and CVC words! Check out the bundle below and let me know what you think!!<br />

Have you ever tried an Easter egg hunt with a TWIST? I did something completely different one year and it was a lot of fun. I found this idea on the internet, but can't remember where or when I saw it. If you know whose idea it is, let me know and I'll gladly give them credit!!<br />
<br />
So here's what we did....we basically turned an ordinary egg hunt into something a little more academic. I know, I know!! It doesn't sound fun....but I promise my kids had a blast and were way happy with their goodies!!<br />
<br />
I asked each student to send in 6 plastic eggs filled with a small toy or candy. Then I had a parent volunteer come in and write one word on each egg. The words were: I, little, have, six, my, eggs. So 20 eggs had the word I.....20 eggs had the word little......etc.<br />

<br />
After the eggs were hidden, I let the students know that they each had to find 6 eggs that had the 6 sight words on them. To help them, I created a recording sheet where they could cross off each word as they found each egg. If you'd like to grab it for the future, you can <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B48DGg8CKnBLVzV2dnJib09KS2s/edit?usp=sharing"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>download it here</b></span></a>!<br />

They were so funny hunting for the sight word eggs. I could hear them calling out "has anybody seen the word <i>little</i>".......and "hey I need <i>have"</i>! It was really cute to watch them trying to find all of the words and making sure they marked each word off on their sheet!!<br />

After students found all 6 of their eggs, they headed to the sidewalk to complete the rest of the sheet. They had to take out their 6 eggs and unscramble the words to make a sentence (I have my six little eggs.) This was pretty easy for most students, but others needed a little bit of help. Then they wrote the sentence on the lines.<br />

<br />
The last thing they did before opening any of their eggs was to record the color of each individual egg, by writing the color word in the boxes.<br />
<br />
Finally after all of that hard work......they got to open their eggs and see their special treats! They were so excited!!! Not a single one complained about having to hunt for sight words or do "work" afterwards. They actually were laughing and smiling the whole time, so I consider that a WIN - WIN!<br />

So you can imagine how excited I am about the upcoming Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang! I am even more excited to share this experience with my students!<br />
<br />
As I was perusing Pinterest I came across this super cute poem by <a href="https://www.poetry4kids.com/">Ken Nesbitt</a> called "The Winter Olympics Are Practically Here." It's a cute take on how the Olympics would go if animals were involved instead of humans! It's a fun read that I bet your students will love! <i>Click on the poem below to download a copy for your classroom!</i><br />

Will you be in school on August 21, 2017? If so, you may want to see if you will be able to see the <a href="http://www.eclipse2017.org/2017/maps.htm">2017 Solar Eclipse</a> that is taking place that day! My town is lucky enough to be in the path of totality and I am super excited about this!<br />
<br />
So if you will be watching with young students, read on.....I've got some things you may want to consider. After all, kids will be kids!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Xdxxg1cXUg_DgWjShxSc6bEf5M1-AOn-ne27JPYNd_TmaxNGxmnQ-7XkqN-PgCircOK4_aOgo4xE61cP-DY-PU8d9zWPPRlGPfTP3KU_yUqPPoSr100aEpCNMVvWPxJTo0tKuQDonB8/s1600/Slide1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Xdxxg1cXUg_DgWjShxSc6bEf5M1-AOn-ne27JPYNd_TmaxNGxmnQ-7XkqN-PgCircOK4_aOgo4xE61cP-DY-PU8d9zWPPRlGPfTP3KU_yUqPPoSr100aEpCNMVvWPxJTo0tKuQDonB8/s320/Slide1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Our younger students are just learning about the world around them. That includes things like the sun and the moon. So they might not have any idea what an eclipse is. Here's a great <a href="https://www.brainpop.com/science/space/eclipse/">Brainpop video</a> that might be useful to show your students to help them understand what will happen<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDakAdY25LQAjYx2oFyGR6W3cXb8_farvrCofRMpqPWA0Djr-3DQKCYAxIXzYlxv-JpbJxlKV7jEoPG1AHvyI5YHilCm1gmKDeuLnTHRN5DEtbBxAmVuzaZNcna8sxn4U__nH26hv_DUo/s1600/Slide1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDakAdY25LQAjYx2oFyGR6W3cXb8_farvrCofRMpqPWA0Djr-3DQKCYAxIXzYlxv-JpbJxlKV7jEoPG1AHvyI5YHilCm1gmKDeuLnTHRN5DEtbBxAmVuzaZNcna8sxn4U__nH26hv_DUo/s320/Slide1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I'm excited and you might be excited. But our kiddos may not fully comprehend how rare this event is going to be. If they have to miss something "fun" like center time or recess in order to view the eclipse, I can see them being even less enthused about the whole thing. I have great plans to try and get them excited--just hoping my excitement wears off on them. HA!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivrHvXitiJFa6MTdfV1SIPGZkkVujNyZYrq7laQBSDOcY0nbulKj_IF5qgfC0e1GtQDQ7Dd6Wkey0DNFx24ymyH8nuFg6HDKojZQl4WWbaTW6tCEnDzQBfpQCWm0ZcDRaya7ntH1HaW1E/s1600/Slide2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivrHvXitiJFa6MTdfV1SIPGZkkVujNyZYrq7laQBSDOcY0nbulKj_IF5qgfC0e1GtQDQ7Dd6Wkey0DNFx24ymyH8nuFg6HDKojZQl4WWbaTW6tCEnDzQBfpQCWm0ZcDRaya7ntH1HaW1E/s320/Slide2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
So if you're in the path of totality, you will experience a couple of minutes of total darkness. Day will literally become night. I will be in awe, but I am betting some of my little ones might not be so impressed. I am going to make sure my students are fully prepared for what will happen and I'm planning on doing some role playing too. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This one's going to be tough, but it is going to be SO IMPORTANT. Seriously. My kids can't keep anything on LOL. So I'm betting that they won't want to (or won't be able to) keep the flimsy safety glasses on. They will be too big or too small. They will fall off randomly or will blow off in the wind. Yall know how it is! There will definitely be some safety lessons done beforehand so my students know not to look directly at the sun.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok this one's just a given. It always seems that there's one kid who has to go to the restroom right in the middle of a fire drill or a guest speaker or a school-wide assembly. I definitely don't want to be trekking back inside the school building and miss the whole eclipse, so I am planning to take the entire class for a restroom break BEFORE we head outside!</div>

When I received my first set, I wanted my students to be able to freely explore the contents...without me telling them exactly <i>what</i> to do or <i>how</i> to do it. So to accomplish this, I simply opened the box and dumped the contents out on the table. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5s-4L4T1xY3nB2Ab6lFUb7hy3Be_lIosl2Ub_fGc56jy_nacx6S6Afq7VvPfrvM4CRnT5MkscnlV4HvnVs1ARr-JDit_G-uGW_P6WDVe4QLyjS9JCZCeo7bPE3pGl_O3I0hBYOdP1BdU/s1600/Photo+Mar+03%252C+10+56+04+AM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5s-4L4T1xY3nB2Ab6lFUb7hy3Be_lIosl2Ub_fGc56jy_nacx6S6Afq7VvPfrvM4CRnT5MkscnlV4HvnVs1ARr-JDit_G-uGW_P6WDVe4QLyjS9JCZCeo7bPE3pGl_O3I0hBYOdP1BdU/s320/Photo+Mar+03%252C+10+56+04+AM.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

I didn't tell my students what the pieces were for. I didn't tell them how the pieces connected. I didn't even tell them what they were supposed to do. I literally dumped everything out and let them explore. <br />
<br />
And explore they did! A couple of my students had played with marble runs before, so they knew immediately what to do. A few of my students had no clue what to do with the pieces. The majority of my students, however, got right to work and began trying to figure out how the pieces went together. <br />

It was pretty interesting to see how my students worked together and talked together as they tried to figure out how to build their marble run. It definitely created a sense of team work, as they quickly realized that in order to be successful, they would all have to work together on this project!</div>

Several students asked for their marbles right away. They wanted to try their marble run pretty quickly after starting. Other students protested, and encouraged them to wait a little longer, to see how big and tall they could make their marble run. I loved hearing my students have conversations about <i>how to</i> build and <i>how not to</i> build their creations!<br />

My students had a ball exploring the marble run set! They were all in agreement that today was one of the best science days ever!!! Today's fun was all about exploring the marble run set, finding out how parts fit together, learning how the process worked, and just having fun! Our next project will be exploring how we can make the marbles travel faster (or slower) through the run and examining how different pieces can make this happen. </div>

I received four marble run kits for my classroom because I am a Marble Genius Ambassador! Unfortunately the ambassador program is closed, but you can still get your marble run kits on the <a href="https://www.marblegenius.com/">Marble Genius </a>page. I also highly suggest utilizing <a href="https://www.donorschoose.org/">Donors Choose</a> as a way to obtain marble run kits for your classroom! If you need any help writing a project or getting ideas of ways to incorporate this project in your classroom, just let me know! I'm always happy to help my fellow teachers!!</div>

Your kids will thank you -- this I can definitely guarantee you!!<br />

I love this idea and it's so simple! Once students paint, color, or decorate their paper plate the fun begins! Cut out a shamrock shape and use a brad to attach it to a straw. The brad will allow it to spin and I guarantee your kids will love the end result!<br />

My kinders always love making this St. Patrick's Day hat. Grab a paper plate, let them decorate it with paint, markers, or even crayons. Cut a shamrock shape out of the top (being careful to leave the stem attached) and you'll have yourself a super cute shamrock hat!</div>

I remember making these types of crafts ALL the time in elementary school. Although they take a long time to make, they really are quite simple. Tissue paper, glue, and a pencil are pretty much all you'll need. Students enjoy it and they get lots of fine motor practice wrapping the tissue paper around the end of their pencil. </div>

This cute craft can be done with any type of patterned paper or you can let students decorate their own papers before cutting it up into little pieces. Use the little pieces to create a mosaic on a shamrock pattern shape. Easy and cute!</div>

This is a fun printable set that I created for my kinders. It has three super simple crafts for kids to complete. A necklace, a bracelet, and a crown/headband are included. You could either have each child create all three OR let kids choose which one they'd like to make! </div>

I love Valentine's Day because there are so many fun crafts you can do in your classroom. My kinders always love creating cards, pictures, and crafts for their parents and friends. So I started scouring the web for some fun things that we could create using real photos! Here are some of the cutest things I found.</div>

How sweet is this book mark that uses photos of a child "signing" I love you! This would be super simple to create and I bet the parents would love it. (In the pic the little boy is pointing to his eye which just makes it even cuter!) </div>

Ok this one is just plain fun! If you are making Valentine boxes as a class activity, then this one's for you. Blow up a photo of each child holding their mouth open wiiiiiiiiide. Attach the photo to a box or bag and cut out a hole where their mouth is. The end result is hilarious! <br />See how it's done over at <a href="http://parenthacks.com/2014/02/valentine-collection-box.html?+Hacks+Updates&utm_term=0_c37b98bfde-832b1464c1-83021037">Parent Hacks!</a></div>

For this one you'd just need a photo of your students appearing to hold something in the air. Then have your students use construction paper to create the grass, sky, and a big heart on which they can write their own sweet message. <br />

Counting to 100 is a key skill that Kindergarteners are expected to master! Although rote counting can be a mundane task, I've found some great videos on YouTube that are sure to get your students counting to 100 with a smile! </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">#1--Jack Hartman's Count to 100 by 1's</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a fun video that encourages kids to get up and move as they count to 100. For each set of 10, kids are asked to perform movements such as rope climbing, soldier marching, bunny hops, etc as they are counting. Learning and moving...can't beat that!! </div>

This is a simple video that doesn't have a lot of graphics, except for the colorful numbers that are shown as you count. This one has a cute catchy tune with kids counting/singing to 100. This video would be perfect if your kiddos need practice counting, but may get distracted by too many graphics!</div>

This video is always a big hit with my girls.....not so much with the boys. LOL Tayla is an energetic lady who enjoys doing some cheesy movements as she counts to 100.......IN A TUTU. LOL You may not want to play it all the time, but every now and then it'll be a fun change of pace!</div>

I love this poem by Meish Goldish because it's funny and cute, and the kids always enjoy reading it and listening to it. It's always a hoot when you get to the end of the poem and they want to go back and count all of the words....you know...just to MAKE SURE there are 100 words! Ha!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever done directed drawing with your students? Directed drawing is where you guide your students step by step in the drawing process. You model each step for them on the board or screen, and then students repeat it on their paper. It's not copying…students aren't given a finished image and then asked to replicate it. Instead they are given step by step directions that they interpret and manipulate to the best of their ability! The results can be amazing!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is an example of a directed drawing that I did with my students a couple years ago. You can see how no two are exactly alike! That's what makes directed drawing so fun!! Read my original post <a href="http://kisforkinderrific.blogspot.com/2013/01/mlk-directed-drawing.html">here</a> !</div>

If your students are anything like mine, they love anything to do with iPhones, iPods, or iPads. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided it would be fun to combine their love of this technology with an 'all about me' activity that they could personalize for themselves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Included in this set are two different tablets. One has 9 app spots and one only has 6 app spots. Younger students may find it easier to complete the tablet with less spots. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are also 24 different "APPS" that students can choose from to personalize their tablet. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Students can write or draw on each app to tell about themselves.</div>

I would suggest printing the tablets on colored paper and the icons on white, as shown in the above picture. Completed tablets would make a great Back to School bulletin board or classroom display! </div>

Do you know what augmented reality is? Neither did I until I was introduced to it by JoAn over at <a href="http://tinytoestpt.blogspot.com/">Tiny Toes</a>. And let me tell you......it is super cool and your kids are going to LOVE it!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Google defines augmented reality as: "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-weight: 300; line-height: 15px;"><i>a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view."</i></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-style: italic; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
JoAn used the <a href="http://colarapp.com/">ColAR Mix App</a> to introduce augmented reality to her preschool students. Yes. I said <i>preschool students</i>. Even our youngest students will be able to enjoy this awesome technology! If you want to see some super cute excitement, you will definitely want to read her <a href="http://tinytoestpt.blogspot.com/2014/02/augmented-reality-fun-with-colar-mix.html">latest blog post </a>and see how her preschoolers reacted to this new technology.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/colar-mix-3d-coloring-book-app/id650645305?mt=8"><img border="0" height="161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAONDn05J0AK36P_B8SvRfODIYlW7z0eJfa1r4pvULOcJPPNxenVzl70iSLCvBJC2_92edznMm9ZLUYIT80yn_pZdHYJSenlnpdebn1iJ37_OqzCIQBfk8ng5Btfk_L8AlPwjv6Ykx_uE/s1600/colarmix.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simply put, the ColAR Mix App takes student artwork and makes it jump off of the paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, really!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's how it works......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I downloaded the ColAr Mix App from the app store. It's FREE. </div>
<br />
Then, I printed off coloring pages from the <a href="http://colarapp.com/">ColAR app site</a>. They have several that are absolutely FREE, but they also have some additional pages available for purchase. I did purchase some additional ones for my students so that we'd have several choices to choose from! <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBIaar_qs-S0twBdOKNclUtRrVEXvQX9BRdKDshO1j1L7W1rQRzUbVwi5Vnbws_Gr0lt_w8-rFEVYE0IMRjxqtlTH31VMEOPQZXLzgsT67uPpfQuKZFm2kpLQHSVSfJrSDFTdVwkHSgdk/s1600/Photo+Feb+14,+1+33+57+PM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBIaar_qs-S0twBdOKNclUtRrVEXvQX9BRdKDshO1j1L7W1rQRzUbVwi5Vnbws_Gr0lt_w8-rFEVYE0IMRjxqtlTH31VMEOPQZXLzgsT67uPpfQuKZFm2kpLQHSVSfJrSDFTdVwkHSgdk/s1600/Photo+Feb+14,+1+33+57+PM.jpg" width="200" /></a>Next, we colored the pictures! <br />
<br />
I did not tell my students anything about the app or the 3-D fun that was coming. I just told them they had worked so hard lately, that I decided we needed a "fun, coloring" day.<br />
<br />
When students finished their pictures, I asked them if they wanted to see their picture "come to life." Naturally they replied (screamed) YES!!!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I opened the ColAR app on my iPad, and held it over a student's picture. (you'll see the picture turn blue, that's how you know the app 'sees' the picture correctly)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few seconds later........the MAGIC happens. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/zfh7hW8T1V4?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Notice how the sun, trees, and house all appear to leap off of the paper. Not sure if you can see it in the video, but the little dog actually runs down the sidewalk too!! </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
The super cool thing is that you can actually move the iPad around the paper slowly....and see different angles. It's truly like the picture has 'sprung' to life! The kids were so amazed!!! They did not want to leave and go back to their class....they kept begging to color another picture. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's another example. Seriously COOL!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/tTp_bVWMQ1I/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/tTp_bVWMQ1I?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/tTp_bVWMQ1I?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to use this technology some more! It really got the kids engaged...and I could see this app being used as a springboard to writing, storytelling, reading, and more! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Augmented Reality isn't just making pictures come to life....it's about bringing the whole world around us to life. I found a great Edutopia article online that gives lots of great suggestions of how we can use AR in the classroom. If you've never heard of AR, or would just like to learn more, I highly recommend checking this article out: <a href="http://www.edutopia.org/blog/augmented-reality-new-dimensions-learning-drew-minock">Augmented Reality Brings New Dimensions to Learning</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think???? Is this something you could see your kids getting excited about???</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;">I created a Valentine math and literacy set to keep my kiddos on their feet and learning during the week of Valentien's Day. There are three math and two literacy activities in the pack that you can use as write the room activities, independent practice, or group work. </span>My kids love any "write the room" activity! They really enjoy getting up and moving around the room and they honestly do a great job at it. Very rarely do I have any problems with kids playing or being off task during a write the room station. And for me that's a WIN!</div>

Happy New Year everyone!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started the new year off with an awful stomach bug, so here's hoping the rest of the year gets better!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to let you know about a new adventure that I am going to be a part of this year! I'm super excited to be teaming up with Hilary over at <a href="http://rockinteachermaterials.blogspot.com/">Rockin' Teacher Materials</a> on a brand new collaborative blog!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The blog is called "Who's Who and Who's New" and there will be a new post every day in 2014, so you'll definitely want to follow along for the ride.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Head on over to our new blog and read the very first post by yours truly!</div>

It's an adorably cute story about my nephew and how he wrote a letter to Santa asking for an American flag for Christmas!!! I mean, really, how cute is that????? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've heard that a lot of teachers actually have to go back to school this Thursday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily we have the rest of this week off. We return to school on Monday, Jan. 6th along with all our kiddos! In the past, we've always had a work day/inservice day before the kids came back, but for whatever reason that is not the case this year! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you're enjoying your break and I hope you have a fabulous new year as well!! One of my new years resolutions is to do a better job at blogging! I have definitely neglected my poor little blog over the past year, but hopefully I'll do better in 2014! </div>

Sorry for the bad picture, but this was too precious not to share. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of our 2nd grade teachers had her students write letters to Santa today. I read through several of them (because they are ALWAYS fun to read!!) and seriously got teary eyed reading this one from a very sweet little girl. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I adore how she opened her letter with a wish for other kids. Naturally, she asked for some stuff for herself. :-) But the part that is the tear jerker is the part that comes next. Be sure to read through the whole thing....it will definitely make your day!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black; font-size: large;">This year I switched positions and am now teaching special ed....K-3 Resource.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">each day. They definitely keep me on my toes. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So when I saw the laser finger pointers at Oriental Trading, I knew I needed to get some. </span>(They were pretty inexpensive at 8.00 for a dozen!!)<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Yesterday I pulled them out for "added motivation" to help the kids stay on task while working.</span><br />

They worked so hard with those silly things on their fingers....One little boy even remarked that his writing was much neater because the laser light was helping him!?!?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I even turned off the lights for a little bit. I'm pretty sure they thought I was the best teacher ever. HA! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We'll see how long the "laser magic" lasts LOL, but for now it's definitely going to stay in my bag of tricks!!</span><br />

I am linking up with Crystal over at <a href="http://kreativeinkinder.blogspot.com/">Kreative in Kinder</a> for her fun linky about all the funny things kids say!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The conversation below happened between me and a very funny Kindergartener. He seriously was hilarious!! He was so precious and sweet, and honestly didn't have a mean bone in his body. He was always saying funny things, but this conversation was one of my favorites. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because I knew this child so well, I knew he wasn't being ugly or smart. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He seriously was just stating the fact as he understood it. And he was pretty much right, wasn't he? LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When he said it, I couldn't help but smile. I may have even chuckled a little.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I still made him go sit down until I finished with my group. ;-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This week the teachers got to have a little Fall Fun and decorate some pumpkins!! It's a small fundraiser to help buy books for our library and it's lots of fun for the kids and teachers!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Monday, several teachers brought in their fun, pumpkin creation! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A jar was placed in front of each one and the students get to vote all week for their favorite one using loose change. Each cent is considered a vote! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take a look at this "triple scoop" pumpkin creation!! This teacher went ALL OUT on hers!!! </div>

Do you have an interactive whiteboard in your classroom? If you do, consider yourself very lucky!! I've always been so jealous of teachers who have Smart boards or Promethean boards in their classrooms. There's just so much you can do with those things!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year I started looking all over the internet for "cheap Smart boards"....I seriously googled those exact words. What I found was a way you can use a projector, a computer with bluetooth, a Wii remote, and an infrared pen to create a fairly inexpensive interactive whiteboard!! </div>

The site I stumbled upon was called <a href="http://teachwithtech.com/">Teach With Tech</a> and I purchased everything I needed to get my interactive whiteboard set up for about 150 dollars. Go check out their site for more information on the technical aspects of this project or simply google Wii interactive whiteboard. You will find gobs of information, pictures, and videos from others who have done similar projects. </div>

As with anything, there are pros and cons to using this system. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pros far outweigh the cons, but I'll tell you about both of them. </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
(you can see the toolbar in the lower right hand corner of the screen....it allows me to change the color, size, etc. of the pen stroke!) </div>

One of the things I LOVE about the setup, is that I can use my interactive whiteboard with Promethean board lessons. I simply downloaded the Active Inspire software (FREE) and went to town looking for interactive Promethean lessons! In this pic, I am dragging short & long Aa pictures to their correct box!</div>

Because I am "writing" on a screen that is hanging from the ceiling, the lines are not always as straight as I'd like them to be. I think it's because the screen is not stationary, but I'm not sure!<br />
<br />
Honestly it's not a huge deal.....because I'm just happy I can "write" on my screen!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The other cons are mostly setup related. The whole system is a little cumbersome to <a href="http://teachwithtech.com/wiimotesetuphelp-11.html">set up</a> and takes a lot of patience. (The Wii remote has to be mounted to the ceiling so it can "see" your screen and pen). For some unknown reason, the Wii remote sometimes fails to connect to my bluetooth and I have to restart the whole program several times. This is extremely frustrating when I'm trying to teach a lesson, so many times I've just given up on using the whole thing. I'm honestly not sure if it's a Wii problem, a software problem, or a bluetooth problem!! Or perhaps it's just a user problem! HA HA!<br />
<br />
Even with all of the frustrations, I still LOVE my interactive whiteboard! It's allowed me to do lots of things I never thought I'd be able to do, and has brought a whole new level of interaction to my kiddos. Right now my projector screen is a little too high for my kids to use the pen to interact with a website or a game, but eventually I'd like to lower it to allow them to utilize it more!<br />

Each year in Kindergarten we count down the last 26 days of school by having an "ABC Countdown." It's something that everyone looks forward to and it's so much fun!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today was Aloha Day for A! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hawaiian music and colorful leis were waiting for my kiddos as they arrived in the classroom this morning. Most kids brought beach towels and dressed in bright tropical colors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take a look at some of the fun we had today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">So as soon as St. Patrick's Day was over, my mind turned to Easter and all the fun things that we are going to do! There are so many neat things you can do with those plastic Easter eggs!! Last year when I found some that had three parts that snap together, I thought I had hit the jackpot!!! CVC word building suddenly got a whole lot more fun for my kids!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Since Easter is a fun time for me and the kids, I made a couple of new things that I added to my TpT store....and I also made a freebie that is available as well!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Bunny Builder is a CVC Literacy Center where students will build CVC words! There are 20 CVC picture cards and 60 egg letters. There are also recording sheets for students to record the words they make! It's available for $3.00 in my </span><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Easter-Activities-616285?utm_source=My%20Blog&utm_campaign=Easter%20Post">TpT store here</a><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">. </span></div>
