Mrs. Bralley’s Third Grade Reading Classes have been learning about Famous People. They’ve read stories, explored interactive iPad apps, researched, made story cubes, and even created their own Glogs on Glogster EDU.

Kindergarten Mother’s Day Stories

Posted on April 7, 2014 by Tina Coffey

Students in Mrs. Clapper’s Kindergarten Class created Digital Stories with the Story Kit app about their moms for Mother’s Day! They have pictures, text, and sound. Students did all the work themselves, starting with the “selfie” they took using the camera app. Click on their selfies below to interact a few examples below. If you see a sound button, turn up your volume and click it to hear their voices!

During the class’ Mother’s Day Tea, moms will receive a handmade card with a QR code on it that links to their child’s story! How fun!
