Thankful Thankful Thankful
This of
course is a week that we all take time to recognize the things we have and the
people we have that we are so very thankful for. It is something I wish I took time for more
often. So, today I am linking up with my sweet bloggy friend, Elyse from A is for Apples, so write about 4 things I am thankful for!
I also have the perfect little lady. She will be 5 soon and while she may be my only one, I cannot thank God enough for her. I may not have blessed with anymore kids at this point, but she is the best anyone could hope for!
Sometimes change is hard, but sometimes it is exactly what you need. My school got a new principal this year and she is WONDERFUL, AMAZING< MIRACULOUS...I could go on. I have never met or even heard of such a hands-on administrator who has such respect for her teachers. This year has been a breath of fresh air in my teaching life - Thanks Beth!
I hope you all are having a nice time reflecting on what you are thankful for - let me know if the comments!

You Oughta Know!
How have
I been missing participating in Jasmine’s You Oughta Know blog hops! The last two months have F-L-O-W-N by. Getting the kiddos settled is always such a
production, but some days I was feeling as though there was no time left for
me!
In any
event, I am back to share a new app that my classroom is using to publish their
personal narrative stories…MY STORY!
My Story is a PAID app in iTunes ($3.99). I believe my school system got a package deal because it paid for all K-2 classrooms to have the app on 5 iPads, but still $3.99 for what you get isn't so bad.
You can even add a picture (so not a great pic of me, but what can you do...).
Next kids get to choose a title for their books and a color for the cover.
I like the students to type their text (in this case they are copying from a book they have already handwritten and edited/revised) first, before working on the pictures.
Here is the text on the page.
Now, I work on pictures. There are lots of different styles on drawing tools. My "big" fingers seemed to like the pencil size lines, but there are marker and paint tools, as well as stickers and photo options.
Finally, there is the option of recording the stories! These are my final slides. Clearly I am NOT an artist, but I wanted to give you an idea of how the books are put together.
This week I introduce the app to kids and
gave them time to work on books with partners to check out the app. Next week we start publishing and then I hope to have final stories done and uploaded for families by the end of next week! I will be sure to let you know how it goes!
Thanks for coming by again this month and I hope you got some new ideas to use in your room. Leave a note in the comments to let me know if you have any ideas about how you may use My Story in your room!
