Another video...

I had taken this video a couple of weeks ago (when we were still talking about animals), but I forgot to post it. 

Here are some students working at the SMART table center...


 

Story Retelling Fun

We've started work in the Construction Zone (our next theme)...
...and one of the activities the students can choose during our centers is a "story retelling" of the Three Little Pigs using the Puppet Pals HD app on the iPad (and the story retelling props from Houghton Mifflin's website).  

I wanted to share the videos made by two students in Ms. Perkins' (Head Start) class with only a little help from me.  This was the first time they had every used this app...and I think they did a great job!   I apologize for the raspy voice in the background--I have a cold, and my voice sounds terrible. :)

The first one, retold by Janiya: 



 ...and the second, retold by Alisha:


Not bad for a first try, huh?  Such a fun app.  Hopefully, we'll have more videos to share as our classes get more practice.
