One way we use our iPads during Daily Five time is to Listen to Reading. We do this with a variety of apps, but I love trying to also use the "native" apps and what I already have in my classroom. Combine old CD's from Scholastic with books read aloud on them with the music app and you have a 2.0 version of a listening center! Like many teachers, I had stacks of CD's that we no longer used ...

I take the opportunity to create a Writing Museum at the end of a ... Read More about Writer’s Workshop Museum

Pictures from the pages are below, and you can download the pdf for free in my ... Read More about Using KidBlog on an iPad

Track Homework on the iPad
In our first grade classroom we are learning how to take responsibility and self-assess. One easy way we do this is through tracking whether or not we returned our homework each Friday. To do this, I shared a Google Form with each student that is opened on the free Sheets app. On the form, I just listed a few dates and then put a box that said "yes" and a box that said "no" next to each of them. ...
