I'll be the first to admit that I am lucky. Very lucky. Last year I wrote a grant to get 4 itouches in my classroom along with a fantastic listening library. It was a cool November morning when the Grant Fairies arrived in my room with a big check for "iTouch, I Read, I Learn." Since then, we've been rocking the iTouches as part of Daily 5.
This year, I knew I wanted the kids to do more. I was totally inspired by the Persnickity Pickles blog on Pinterest, but could not download from her site. (I would link you to her, but it tells me this blog has been removed. Miss Pickles, if you are out there please connect with us! Please come back, your blog was awesome!)
I'm using the CAFE system in my class, so the students are working on different goals. I created this iTouch journal, then just copied the pages that met each student's needs. They love it, I love, we're all happy. Maybe you can find a spot for this in your classroom.
What types of apps do you use with your itouches?? I am fortunate that every room in our school has 4 itouches and 1 ipad. I am SO interested in this since I , too, use a form of the Daily 5.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for any advice!!!
Abslutely fabulous! This is just what I have thinking about doing with my iTouch listening center and you have done such a fine job with this journal. Thank you so much for sharing this.
