On Monday, we had our final TIA session with artist- extraordinaire, Lynne! It was a creative way to start the day. Students lost themselves in the task of completing their community tile, adding details such as grass, fields, street lights, fence and even basketball nets (very novel idea, Noah M.!). I was very proud of how polite and patience students were when using Lynne's supplies. Manners were used to borrow other table's materials and students were careful not to waste.
We are writing about our TIA experience and are using the iPad app Book Creator to help us! It is a user-friendly app (even I can do it!). Students are even able to speak their writing into the app to add text to pages, speeding up the timely task on typing... a huge benefit when we one have one iPad in the classroom. Once published in iBooks, our new book with look professionally published, equipped with turning pages and all!
Here are students' finished products: (remember, it was wacky hair day...)
*A few students did not follow instructions and thus, I do not have picture of them with their project at the time :(
Students are eager to take their projects home, but we discussed our desire to have our families see the ENTIRE community model. We will leave our projects at school for Student-Led conferences in November. Here is a sneak-peek of what it looks like:
A special thanks to Lynne for, yet again, her wealth of knowledge, ideas and support!
