All the Fish you Wish

9/25/2015

Ms. Skonieczny's kindergarten class really loves Motion Math's Hungry Guppy! In this paid app, students drag bubbles filled with dots to count and add. As each student progresses, more difficult content like number symbols or higher sums is delivered. As a reward, students earn "bling" for their fish. What a great way to reinforce basic counting and addition skills!

My First Selfie

PictureQuote from a BPE kindergartner
First day of school, first lost tooth, first haircut, and FIRST SELFIE? Boy, how times have changed! This year was the first school year that our school district had iPads follow our students. That meant that our kindergartners received iPads from our graduating seniors.

Using Apple's new Apple ID U13 Kiosk feature, many parents were able to set up their kindergartner's Apple ID before school started. However, we still had to individually enroll over 100 iPads into the Jamf server. This server is responsible for distributing paid and free apps to our iPads. A little tough to do with five year olds! But with the help of third and fifth graders as well as our tech staff, our kinders finally received their iPads and happily took their first selfies. Say cheese!

My Buddies...

Learning with a friend is awesome, learning with an older grade level buddy is even more awesome! Buddy classrooms, Ms. Hester's kinders and Ms. Price's third graders really enjoy learning from each other during their "Buddy Time". On this visit, third graders patiently helped kindergartners learn to use the apps TanZen lite, Geoboard, and ABC Magnetic Alphabet. What fun!

Check In, Check Out, and Check for Understanding

Formative assessment is the process of checking in with students to get their feedback about their learning and understanding of a topic or opinions in order to guide instruction. A quick way to informally assess your students is by using Padlet.  In this example, Ms. Bennett set up a Padlet wall for her 3rd graders and had them check in with a guiding question.

What's super cool is that Padlet now provides a QR code for students to snap and quickly go to a wall to add their questions, ideas, or comments.  From that springboard of beautiful student feedback, you can quickly tailor your lesson based on what your students know, think or wonder. Want to find more ways to use technology for formative assessments? Check out this Listly list and get students involved in their own learning!

BPE Student Council

9/11/2015

BPE 5th graders started their speeches this week for their chance to be apart of our amazing Student Council. After speeches were given, students used their iPads to vote using Google Forms. To make sure each student only voted once and for their homeroom only, 5th graders had to sign in using their Google credentials and we used the Go to Page Based on Answer feature of Google Forms. Way cool, best of luck to all of our Student Council candidates!
