Butterfly Life Cycle Books

Posted on November 2, 2014 by Tina Coffey

Students in Mrs. Wiggington and Mrs. Allen’s classes created Butterfly Life Cycle Digital Books after they hatched classroom butterflies. They used the app Book Creator. This app allowed them to add text, pictures, and audio to their books. They really did a very nice job! You can listen to them read their stories here:

There are two versions of each book: epub and pdf. The epub can be downloaded and read in iBooks (on an iPad or iPhone/iPod Touch) or any other ebook reader. The pdf can be downloaded on a computer and printed. Check them out below!

Authors at Oak Grove

Posted on May 17, 2014 by Tina Coffey

Over the past few weeks, students in 4th grade have been writing iBooks using the app Book Creator. This app has so many features, including the ability to open finished books in the iBooks app. However, this time we took it one step farther. Students (with parent permission, of course) had the option to try and publish their finished creations to the actual iBook store. The story, Wolves Win the Game, was the first to be accepted.
