First graders tell about their whale study

My first graders have spent 3 class periods studying the whales of the world. They completed this study by drawing and then painting their type of whale, on a scale of 1' =1". You will see these paintings and hear the students telling about them, on our photostory link here.

Kindergarten Photostory update

This week, my kindergarten friends picked a tree to adopt in Dressel's front yard. We will watch this tree change from winter, to spring, and into summer. We also planted tulip bulbs in the warm and moist ground. I took pictures of these lessons and then made a photo story to practice using it and to tell their parents about our tree. Our limited time on Wed. afternoon, did not allow me to have the students do the audio part of the photo story, however, now that I know how to do this, it will be easy for me to have them work with me, one at a time on this, when others are busy with an assignment.

Kindergarten in our garden

My plan is to have my kindergarteners record their voices on Photo Story to tell us about "our tree and the tulips we planted" in our garden.
