First Day Jitters Close Read

I recently found another site to create close read video lessons.  It is called:Weo.  Lessons can be created and then shared with your students in a virtual classroom.  It is similar to Google Classroom.  Weo offers an added tool.  It will grade the student work for you and transfers it to an excel spreadsheet or an online gradebook.  It also has a discussion section for comments.  Here is the link to an activity that I made for First Day Jitters.
Another great feature is the Weo Connect.  It works like Pinterest.  You follow the teachers that are also creating on Weo and you can pin lessons to your own Weo board.  Then you can assign them to your classroom.  

Getting To Know You Kahoot

Chrysanthemum Close Read

I recently went to the Zaption site where I create my close read videos.  They will be shutting down as of September.  So I found a new FREE site to create them.  It is called: VIZIA.  It does not offer everything that Zaption does but it will do for now.  If you know a better site please comment.

So here is my latest close read: Chrysanthemum  I love to read this at the beginning of the year to discuss feelings with my kiddos.  I just put the link in google classroom and they can do it during reading center rotations.  The best part is that the site will automatically send you student results to an excel or google spreadsheet.

Enjoy!!

Zaption Close Read

           

I found a new tool for my classroom.  It is called Zaption.  It is free and easy to use.  Here is my first close read creation called Lemon the Duck.  You can insert the link into your Google Classroom.  Students can listen to the story and respond to prompts as it moves along.  Analytics are also provided to monitor student learning.

Associative Property with the Easter Bunny

Here is a cute way to teach the Associative Property.  Have kids write an equation to match the story, keeping the numbers in order. Use properties to find a better way to organize the numbers.  Record this on the ten frames below and with an equation on line #2. Here is the link: Associative Property
