Mrs. Myer’s reading class created a “Readbox.” If you scan the QR code on the books they posted, you’ll see a student created video trailer. To create these videos, students first made characters and settings out of craft and art supplies. Then these used these with the iMovie app on the iPads to create their trailers.

Check out their videos below or in the hall outside their classroom!

Batty Books

Posted on November 9, 2014October 12, 2017 by Tina Coffey

Students in Second grade reading classes created Bat Books after reading and researching bats. 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!

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. You will even be able to hear your child read! The pdf can be downloaded on a computer and printed.
